Trailer for The Love Guru.
Look out East Indians, Mike Meyers is doing brown-face:
I am really not down with this whatsoever. Not because the movie co-stars the dull-eyed human Barbie Jessica Alba or even the fact that Meyers is rehashing age-old street jokes as well as punch-lines from his Austin Powers series. What gets me here is that the star of this movie is trying to resurrect his slumping career by pulling the buck-toothed Asian schtick on Hindu culture.
However, I am sure this movie will make over $100 million, and will be the reason many East Indian kids are going to have an even tougher time dealing with caucasian and African American kids in middle and high schools across the U.S. Let's just hope that instead of violence, they get their revenge by working hard and getting higher-paying jobs than the kids who were too busy picking on them to make better grades in school.
