Why is TV using subtitles for minorities?

Anyway I don't see what's transgressive about saying "I be going to the store". Everyone understands what that means. It's actually a truer conjugation of the verb "to be".

It's not "transgressive" but there's also no such thing as a "true" conjugation.

Hey jujulu - I was watching Ice Road Truckers: Worlds Deadliest Roads the other evening and they subtitled a white guy from Canada and another white guy from Los Angeles.

What's up with that???

Could it possibly be so you can understand what they are saying??

I was watching Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and Gen. Chang was reciting Shakespeare in Klingon. I'm glad it was sub-titled:

Star Trek VI: Shakespeare Quotes - YouTube

And who can forget this classic?


Godfather - Michael killing Sollozzo & McCluskey - YouTube

I would ask the OP to be much more concerned with Sitcoms telling us when to laugh at the "jokes"

It's amazing how many good ****** shows they ruin by having the loud fake audience laughter dozens of times a show interrupting the natural flow of acting and storyline.


It's such a shame. It's like buying thousands of dollars worth of the best golf clubs, but then using .25 cent used golf balls that were sitting in the lake for 2 years. TOTALLY POINTLESS!

also should be more concerned with the RADIO COMMERCIALS... It's ****** amazing how they still allow for the radio to play ******* cop sirens on the radio for commercials and shows OUT OF NO WHERE... Talk about a panic ..
