| Lafiel said: no, at no point in OPs neogaf post does it look like he talks about the clothing and manner of the main character actually his post there looks like he instantly associates black with ghetto and low class, while white gangsters are "honorable and decent" and it's silly to deny that this is a good reason to be offended I think OP simply wasn't aware how "loaded" that situation is and failed to express accurately that he prefers "classy" (suit-wearing, family/honor-focussed) gangsters |
That's your projection. You equating "black" to "ghetto" is actually pretty offensive of you. On top of that, where did he say "white"? Again, you're being offensive, as both Irish and Italian immigrants were often discriminated against and had their own "ghettos" in the United States. That's right, it's not a word that pertains only to black people.
Going out of your way to find the most offensive meanings in someone else's words is more a reflection of your own thoughts than of their intent.
It's completely clear what he was saying. He prefers the powerful, above-the-law gangster image that was once glorified by old gangster movies of the past. In a creative medium, that's perfectly fine as an entertainment preference. It's no more racist than liking Hong Kong martial arts films or modern day "gangsta" films.
