I live in a Spanish speaking country where some people take issue with the fact that groups of people are male by default, unless they are all female. Using "e" is preferred to "x" since you can actually pronounce it. Anyway, the clue that this is an American thing is not the fact that they try to make the language inclusive, it's that they don't even think about getting rid of the racist term "Latino" in the first place. A businessman from Ciudad de Mexico and a farmhand from northern Chile have so little in common that it's senseless to lump them together for most purposes, yet as soon as they step into the US they become part of this group labeled "Latino" and treated as as single unit (for "Asians" it's even worse). Most Americans, even many that self-define as "progressive" are so used to this racist framework that they don't see anything wrong with it

I saw Hateful 8 here at home, and was often the only person in the theatre laughing. If one hasn't grown up with the racist framework, how is one supposed to get all of Tarantino's gallows humour references to it?

Are you sure you were laughing at jokes and not just some characters being racist ?

It was nervous laughter.

(for some reason I am now thinking of a legless frog begging in front of a restaurant, but can't recall the connection)
