Handwringing over media consumption is the 69th form of liberalism.

I grew up on the border and the depraved sense of dark humor in Mexico is hard to explain but... basically yeah. It's hard to give a shit about systemic racism when you're choosing between working for the cartels or the typical exploitation of an international manufacturing corporation, and those plants are going away now.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that although yes, racism is a serious issue in Mexico, Nacho Libre is pretty self conscious about the portrayal of various stereotypes and it was a big hit back home. They also fucking nailed it, which is another reason why it's hard to imagine anyone taking issue with it.

Fucking with people who take themselves too seriously is practically a religion here, after football and the lottery of course. Furthermore a lot of the characters are depicting various archetypes and old comedians. It's very well done.

I think Jack Black did a good job of making sure he was the butt of the jokes more than anyone else.

Now if the movie had been written using American stereotypes and archetypes, I think there would be more of a problem.

Looking at the Wikipedia page I guess the same team wrote Napoleon Dynamite.. was anybody offended by that depiction of rural America?

You can enjoy racist movies, you know.

I myself like, for some reason, all those biblical epics of the 50s and 60s.

I liked it. My dad does too. It’s funny as shit. Especially eskeleto

Thought of this the other day because School of Rock is so wholesome and thought of Nacho Libre being the opposite. So idk, I should give it a rewatch.
