They should watch Blazing Saddles next
I'm pretty sure that one got hated by racists when it came out too? I mean I wasn't born yet, but that's what I heard.
I'm guessing Indiana Jones escaped them because the main character was white and they hadn't started identifying as nazis yet - WWII and the whole killing nazis thing was recent enough in memory. Nazis were still considered evil. Hell I'm pretty sure they were still considered evil 10, 11 years ago. But it started changing 9-10 years ago 🤔
I wonder what changed 9-10 years ago 🤔
In The Blues Brothers, the heroes drove a bunch of nazis into a river while declaring "I hate Illinois Nazis" and nobody batted an eye. In my youth, I thought that meant their ideology had been permanently placed in the realm of the pathetic joke. I never imagined they could crawl back out from underneath their rocks like they have.
