I don't really care if no one reads this, but I think this needs to be said:

Yes, all those things are true, regardless of the fact that you got a bazillion names wrong. But, seriously, give me a break. I am Indian (Hindu) and I absolutly love Smallville. But it's pretty much the same in every country. The magority of a countrys' movies are gonna be based on that particular cultural. For instance, there are practically no American movies in India. So? Doesn't exactly qualify as racist to me.

I think you should recheck your facts, and try to see it in a different perspective, rather than being a loser and just looking at it so narrow mindedly. I mean, I disagree with you, but atleast I am willing to look in your point of you.
huh? lol i have no idea what you are talking about in the first paragraph razz . amercan movie have many many different subjects and cultures... and when you said that you loved smallville and you are inddian whats exactly is your point? and chloe i think she is talking to the person who wrote this thread

She is saying that in India there are not many american movies like in America there aren't many indian movies or asian movies. To me that is saying that implies that there aren't any other cultures in America. If you go ask a foreign person "what comes to mind when I say America?" they might say opportunity or freedom but they aren't going to say diversity. I mean even in my own language "american" has become the name for white people. You can flame me now.

But American is a nationality not a race. So that doesn't necessarily mean "white person". But i see where you are coming from when some one says "African" people immediatly think of colored people, even though in Africa, there ARE white people. Its all stereotypes. And that is basically what it comes down to.

Yeah, but I can't change my language of the way my people think so yeah. Not all people think that way though but yeah there are people who think poorly upon other countries. But aren't we doing the same thing to middle eastern countries? I mean there was this wrestler in the WF (i know wrestling is gay, bare with me) named Muhammed Hassan and he was Iraqi or Iranian, I'm not exactly sure which one but you get the idea. Anyways on the 4th of July he made an appearance and he was "boo"ed and he argued how people could celebrate such a holiday and show such discrimination.

Americans, i will admit can be truley disrespectful and thoughtless. Not all of them are like that. But The guy was trying to show his appericiation, and honor for the country and that right there is making our Country look TERRIBLE to alien countries. America is over rated. We boast baout how good we are to people, and then turn around and have it totally blow p in our face. Damn Rednecks are worse about it...

Thats not at all what she was saying. She was saying that in every country people are going to be watching different movies that are centered around different cultures. In her country, they don't have very many American movies. So in her eyes, its not racist.

Not all movies are made in America. America isn't the only country with actors. There are Asian movies with Asian actors in Asian languages. That is how I learned my vietnamese; by watching those movies. They are a lot different too like they are 30-40 hours for one movie. It is more like a soap opera kinda show thing.

I don't think they are exactly racist I think that's just how it end's up. I wouldn't say it's a couinsidence (Sp) though.

Yeah i agree with Armas. I mean they have already altered the diversity of the orignal Comic book charaacters, wth Pete being black and Lana almost looking asian (not a bad thing) i mean on Smallville's defense, they have already helped.

[.dysfunctional penguin.]
I know I'm like totally gonna get flamed for this, but i stand by my theory, cause i think it's true.

reason #1:The only black character with more than a 1line role is pete, but he gets cancelled off the show, then all of the other black people either get killed, for example, that guy that shakes a lot. (i'm really sorry, i forgot his name)

2:also i've noticed that all of the asain people get killed. ('cept ofr lana, or howevewr you spell her name...she doesn't count) for example, the asain scientist guy who got killed because his coworkers turned on him, and killed him when they tried to rob the luther bank thing and Mrs. kent was held hostage....another example was the doctor of ...waahhh...i can't believe i forgot his name...uhhh...the guy who lana used to date that turned out to be a spy and was dying of some disease, so he had to inject himself with stuff.....his doctor was killed, by him becuase he got mad at her and killed her with a giant rubber band.
and also there was the time when they were in china and their guide person got killed....for no reason i think. sweatdrop

3:i have yet to remember any latinos. sweatdrop

4:all the native american people have died, 'cept for the old dude, the girl that turned into a wolf died, and that guy who had superman powers, that's name i also forgot. sweatdrop

so....i've been thinking about this theory for a long time and if you find any flaws, or if i missed something, or if you want to flame m,e, feel free to comment. 3nodding


I know this is logn ago, but I can't resist... I haven't read the other posts... But here is mine.

1. Pete... He left in order for the whole Lana/Clark thing to blossom. Pete knows Clark's secret, and Clark knows Pete knows the secret. Clark will continue to feel bad about himself for not telling Lana, he finally decided not to tell Lana. If Pete was around, he would have wondered: "If I can trust Pete, I can trust Lana too. They're both my good friends, and I think she can handle it." It would give Clark more conflicting feelings, and a teenager has already enough to deal with. LOL.

The dude that shakes in the ep Jitters... You can blame the character Lionel Luthor, he's the one that hires cheap workers into his cleaning staff. The producers didn't do this on purpose, they think of what Lionel would do, he exploits people.

2. Well, I think that Asian Theif was a co-incidence. I mean come on, stereotypically, asians has been linked with being smart-asses in Maths and Computers. So naturally he'd be the leader of a high tech infiltration team. And you have a muscle dude who's the rebel. The leader has the die in order for the rebel to take command, and that's what happened. Co-incidence I tell you, it just fell together.

The female scientist... Well, EVERYONE at the research team died unless they want to co-operate with Lionel's little research scheme. She was facing deportation and will be charged with crimes in her country, Lionel, and Lex threatened her. And yes, the boy got angry, he got angry alright. and he killed her. It's the whole stereotypical thing again. The research scientist can be a english male, yet they don't fill out top notch secret Luthor projects... She has a lot to lose when she took the project, but a lot to gain from Luthor.

The whole China thing, that was just Isobel going on a rampage. If it was French guards, Isobel will still kill them in order to escape the prison.

3. Not that I can remember, any that has gone onto the show yet.

4. They were part of the clan. The woman died because she was a skinwalker. She fell out the window, the glass harmed her. Oh, did I mention she was hurt before she jumped the glass? Well, only the woman and the old guy are skinwalkers... And the old guy cna't die, so it has to be the woman.

We have the rebel again in the clan, he wants to claim the knife as his own. Clark was suppose to have it. The power corrupted him so we had the "Clark VS same power" showdown thing. But Clark gained the upperhand so reinforces, he's our hero and he won't quit without a fight.


Well, I have pointed out your flaws in your theory. Your theory is good, but is was a bit fanatical. mrgreen
