The movie is not anti-white. One of the heroes is white, and one of the main bad guys is black.

It is anti-Southern white slaveholder, much in the same way most World War II movies are not anti-white, just anti-Nazi and anti-fascist.

I guess shrill conservatives whine about most World War II movies that depict Nazis as the bad guys, calling the films "anti-white". It is finally confirmed: conservatism is a deep mental dysfunction.

This. I think a lot of people criticizing this movie haven't actually seen it. I did see it and while I wasn't impressed by it, I don't think it was anti-white.

It is hard for me to not be a fan of Quentin Tarantino's movies. Historical accuracy, or rather the ridiculous lack thereof, is not his forte.. He does not make documentaries, just vivid gore and plenty of violence. So, as long as people know the movie is inaccurate and unrealistic let the cast and director rake in the awards and make money, that is the point of making movies after all.

Who cares?

No one cares about race, other than people who try to use racism to attack a group of people like you are with this thread
