Reply #78: Greeks are white

And what's offensive about something that actually happened thousands of years ago? No one thinks the modern day Iranian state is the Persian Empire, or is even aware Iran is a modern day Persia. I know many people who have seen this movie, and not a single one has said "now after seeing this movie, I've decided we must attack Iran!".

Based on your first paragraph, you are basically saying no movie should ever have any non-white villains ever. Sorry, but that's a ridiculous level of political correctness I'm never going to subscribe to.

The Birth of a Nation analogy is absolutely ridiculous. You are comparing an action movie that has no intentional political message whatsoever (direct quote from the director) to a propaganda film.
