This recent website is posted NOT for Hofmarn's benefit, but to maintain that, as I said all along, I am not the only one to think George Lucas is a racist, and it is NOT crazy to think he is. The racism issue still continues, and this is being posted to prove there are more Hannibals than you think out there...

George Lucas is a racist
Yes, this post is about The Phantom Menace, and about five years to late, but in my defense, there was no diogenesclub.net five years ago.
A lot of people have made off-handed remarks that this or that character is a racist stereotype, mostly Jar Jar Binks, but to my knowledge, no one has ever looked at the movie as a whole to notice, pigeon English aside, how racist the movie actually is.
The original Star Wars had a message. It didn't hit you over the head with it, but it was there. The point of Star Wars (or at least one of them) was that the human spirit triumphs over technology. The point of The Phantom Menace was that racism is wrong. I know this because I was hit over the head with it. Obi-Wan kindly dumbs it down for us and Boss Nass to understand:
