It's certainly a weird one. Are alien planets not allowed to have Oriental looking villains?

I guess what they are talking about here in the main is the use of yellowface for an oriental character, missing the point that he is an alien, and might therefore look other-worldly.

I don't think its unreasonable that modern audiences might raise an eyebrow but I think they are quite capable of recognising films in the context of when they were made.

It looks like we might start seeing the introduction of warning stickers like those that appeared on CDs when the moral minority got their knickers in a twist about bad language in songs.

But don't worry about cuts because films are protected by the Human Rights Act under the freedom of expression rule... oh shit... forgot about Brexit and the and associated aim to tear it up...

ah well, you should always be careful about what you vote for...
