PIC: Netflix thinks the Chappelle Show is racist? |
|
So Netflix was giving me a bunch of TV shows to rate, and after I rated The Chappelle Show, they asked this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UPEYtXJ4Mog/TTnVqFij6rI/AAAAAAAAAKA/aXmgcjJqH6E/s640/netflix+dave+chapelle.jpg

2. yeah. I noticed a certain political bent to their questions about other movies and shows |
|
lefty documentaries that were pretty mainstream got questions like ''How often do you watch conspiracy theories like this?'' I got pretty far through the process before I thought to take a screenshot.

3. Most of that stuff is computer generated from some odd algorithm... |
|
and means nobody from Netflix reads all the queries, not necessarily that they are such assholes.
But, maybe someone should read them...

4. Racism does not equal racist |
|
Racism merely means that racial issues are a strong part of the storytelling.
I think that is an apt description of that show. I would also describe the film Do the Right Thing the same way.
