If I were to make a song about my ancestors' Irish history and the troubles they faced, would Hollywood accuse me of 'playing the race card'? Something tells me they wouldn't. Hollywood loves an underdog right up until it forces them to engage in some self reflection.

Imagine making a piece of art about your peoples' history, something you pour your heart into, that subverts that painful history in a way that brings you catharsis and self expression... and some auld cuntbag tells you you're 'playing the race card'. I dunno, it just feels off.

Yank annoyed that Britain is commenting on American history. Fails to understand that outside of the US, people actually learn about and take an interest in other countries and their history.
