Not just racial discrimination

Racial discrimination has always been a very controversial issue. For us Chinese, it is actually hard to feel. However, our regional discrimination is also very serious. As a Shanghainese, I have heard many outsiders say that Shanghainese discriminate against outsiders. In fact, this phenomenon has never disappeared. Very often, bad things done by an outsider will be affected. Unlimited magnification, and then escalated to a regional problem. The rich look down on outsiders, and the same goes for laid-off workers without money.

Edward Norton’s performance is impeccable. He was a neo-Nazi at first, but the film mainly talks about the differences between whites and blacks. There is no mention of Jews. I was very impressed with the black man who helped Edward. . . After Edward left prison, I always had a hunch that this black man might be killed.

The scene where his brother was shot and killed in the end was shocking. Perhaps this was the retribution of the male pig's feet.

I remembered the Chinese instructors bullying Japanese students. The reason why male pig's feet hates black people is largely because of his father. The influence of adults is really great for children. Presumably many Shanghainese will hear the sentence "It must be a countryman."

The reason why his father hates black people is again It's the same reason that we Shanghainese hate foreigners.
