Doing a google image search for Snarf, I don't see the problem... Snarf speaks proper english
Proper English? Try reading the text that goes with it in the strips. Jar-jar is a dumbed down and more annoying Snarf.
I think Larry Elmore saw more in JarJar that wasn't there
I saw it too which is why I hit the net at the time to see what Elmore thought of his character being ripped off - "didn't even get a mention" is what I remember. Now it's buried somewhere under a million google items with those keywords, but just read the strip to see the very blatant ripoff.
Yes and no. Black face is the issues surrounding it is much much more geographically local than WWII
It was an analogy and the only important parts were "kids who know nothing about" and "incredibly offensive but not meant to be". There is no point going off on a tangent.
The cast's "Racial and Sexual Diversity" is more important than having a plot
It was part of the plot showing how "big" the setting was, just as it was used in Trek to get the point across that the Federation was bigger than China, the USA and Russia combined. See also the Cantina scene for species diversity.
Yes it was pretty well along the lines of kids who know nothing about WWII running though a synagogue with a swastika flag - incredibly offensive but not meant to be. The performers got it second hand via the British "minstrel show" of years back which was a watered down copy of the American blackface stuff that Harry Connick JR knew about.
The cartoon characters filling the role in the 30's to 60's weren't all human either. It's deliberate "black and white minstrels" all the way even if you are too young to have ever seen that stuff, Lucas isn't, and he put it in.
To rub salt in the wound he is a deliberate ripoff visually and in mannerisms of "Snarf" by the fantasy artist Larry Elmore made far too stupid to be able to breath. Lucas must have thought he was just ripping off someone from a nobody that did a strip in Dragon magazine instead of someone that has illustrated the covers of hundreds of novels. At the time Elmore was a bit annoyed that he didn't even get a mention.
So that's the latest euphemism for "the reality based community"? You can't argue politics with an oncoming truck and this is not a political issue either no matter what way various losers want to paint it. You don't get to choose your own facts just because the ones reality gives you don't smell Republican enough.
So how many lots of extra ten millions are going to be needed just to research if it's going to work at all? Pity reality is harder than just waving a magic wand isn't it?
They are pissed off about it - there's a difference. It's like when the computers in the Dalai Lama's office were found to be full of Chinese spyware, there's was no point pretending it hadn't happened just because it was likely to happen.
Or gas, or coal or vegetable oils, but it gets harder with the others than having a convenient liquid. Especially with vegetable oils since ammonium nitrate gets used a lot to produce those and hydrocarbons (typically gas) make that ammonia. The low oil price due to dumping is showing that shale gas costs a lot more to produce and it's driving a lot of US energy providers out of business.
Since it's an insult aimed at a strawman it can be anything you want it to be, thus totally meaningless to anyone else. Be honest guys - yelling SJW is just because you want to yell an insult such as "Nigger" but are too cowardly to do so.
About time you got the same sort of chuckle the rest of the English speaking world got from American names like "Ransom Love" and "Darl McBride" from SCO.
How can we have better climate models when the people working on them are being demonised for working on climate models by people like yourself? Oh yes, delaying tactic and more pretence that it's a political issue totally divorced from reality. Carry on.
How would a criminal even know whether someone is a homosexual or not?
A thing that still happens in my part of the world is that guys walking hand in hand and girls walking hand in hand get chased and beaten up by groups of drunken idiots late at night. Sometimes it's filed under assault, sometimes manslaughter. Sometimes the homeless are the victims instead. I don't know about Seatlle but the police reports are full of it in some other places.
It probably just means the hiring practises are fucked. If you only employ people who are very similar to yourself then the chance of being fucked over by something you never saw coming is high, especially if you limit the pool to social contacts. If you want to know why nobody in the south buys your stuff it's handy to have someone from the south you can ask. For instance, if you have a multinational company with executives all from the same college tennis club the place will end up being run like a college tennis club (Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job!) instead of a multinational company or other large org with talent from all over. So it's not even a race issue, that's just the easiest way to spot whether someone is trying to hire their clone instead of whoever can do the job.
There shouldn't be a fucking side. It's a very simple situation of a law to deal with a specific problem. If it's misapplied then that's the fault of whoever applies it badly and nothing at all to do with gangs beating up specific groups. So then you can only have the "sides" for civilisation or against - fucking insane.
That's an outlier caught in the net aiming to rein in gangs of idiots looking for someone homeless, gay or otherwise what they see as "the other" to beat the crap out of for a bit of fun. It used to happen a lot and still happens (turns out lesbians in the city I live in wear sensible shoes so they can run like hell away from drunken yobbos), so there is a law to try to deal with it.
Inhouse training and similar stuff is typically a generation behind so I've had to make sure flash on all my linux desktops is up to date - which is pissing off people who are now getting a deluge of ads they never saw when they didn't have working flash.
War is a really stupid card game that I used to occasionally play with my sister when we were really bored. (If you don't know it, don't bother. Even an 8 year old thought it was stupid and pointless.)
So the song is right, it really is good for absolutely nothing:)

As an aside, the original legends did that when Thor and Loki wanted to fool a few giants. It's a trap!

Consider what other posters have written about the trigger instead of assuming any flashing does it.
Here's a "solution" - not a very good one I have to admit :)

Step one - pay ten million
Step two - ?
Step three - profit!

Yes it is very clear that you are just here to play a petty little game.

The fish there were full of mercury sulfate so several orders of magnitude worse than a slow reaction between blobs of mercury and stuff in the sea.
