Movie, Dunkirk, "too white"

[Gary K]

The left is getting quite critical of the new movie out on Dunkirk--the evacuation of British forces at the start of WWII that possibly saved the world from being run by the Nazis as it saved what was left of the British army.  The movies critics say there are too many white people in it.  Really?  It was almost all white people on the beaches of Dunkirk.  The movie is being criticized because it is historically accurate in its portrayal of who was there.  

Author James Howard Kunstler, a long time Democrat, says the Democratic party has become the "reality optional wing" of American politics, and this criticism of this movie is a great example of how the identity politics of the Democrats is reality optional.

The link below takes to you an interview of Kuntsler where he makes the "reality optional" statement about the Democrats.  At the top of the page you will find a recap of the video interview.  To watch the video you have to scroll down the page.  The interview is done over a high latency link so the video part is sketchy but the audio is crystal clear.  If you go to Kunstler's website be prepared for some raunchy language as he is an old hippie and uses some rather obscene descriptive language at times.  If you go to his site, read his blog post titled "The Technicolor Swan".  It's quite interesting.

Are you aware of the issue relating to black soldiers at Dunkirk?
