The topic of "racism" (yes, the word is deliberately in quotes) has come up (again) recently due to a bizarre rant by Quentin Tarantino about Ford killing "faceless Indians like zombies." You'd think Tarantino, who has watched just about every movie ever made, would know better, but either he is willfully ignorant or he deliberately enjoys watching the blood pressure of Fordians explode through the roof.
Kent Jones has written a wonderful response published at the Film Comment website to Tarantino's comments. Great reading for Ford fans.
