Different country, different culture. Anyhow, the movie is actually somewhat superficial, I understand.

I have seen people who are both homophobic and xenophobic. I have seen homophobic people who weren't xenophobic. I have also seen people who are neither.

But this? What?

I'm surprised, I've seen this one trotted out before many times.

My response is that Western Christian culture was exactly as hateful, we've just educated it away for the most part, and the same can be done with brown folks.
