      > The Desperately Seeking Susan actress, who appeared in Pulp Fiction as the wife of a drug dealer named Lance played by Eric Stoltz, doesn’t think the filmmaker should have used racist language in the 1994 classic.

      > „It’s iconic, a great film on a lot of levels,“ Arquette said of Pulp Fiction in a new interview with U.K. outlet The Times. „But personally I am over the use of the N-word — I hate it.“

      > Arquette added that she doesn’t appreciate how Tarantino has continued to use the slur throughout his filmography. „I cannot stand that he has been given a hall pass,“ she said. „It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy.“

      I mean he writes racist characters because there are racists in real life, they are over the top because its Quentin Tarantino writing them

      Right – kind of like when he casts himself as a character that sucks on Selma Hayek’s feet because that was in context of that character or something like that? Sure, whatever.

      For Pulp Fiction, artistically speaking, It’s the worst bit of dialogue in the movie.

      I don’t care about it being art or not. I’m not offended as a black dude. I’ve heard plenty of white dudes say the n-word in film albeit almost entirely due to racist characters.

      In Pulp Fiction, it seems to imply, intentionally or not, that it’s ok to say it since he’s married to a black lady, so it’s probably not racism I guess.

      It just doesn’t sound natural or conversational. It’s screams out that it’s being said just to be provocative. That works with a lot of Tarantino lines, but it sounded phony here.

      Sam Jackson has said repeatedly that he has no problem with the language Tarantino uses. So…

      It aligned with the time era. She’s acting like that period of time doesn’t exist

      Idk but it seems the N word gets so much more attention and victimization than any other slur in the book. People act like if you simply say the word in this day and time its equivalent to murdering a puppy. It is just a word not even a physical action. Theres is so much more actual real issues in this world to be concerned about

      Bingo. Django Unchained is 100% racist violence porn bullshit dressed up as art. That movie is fucking terrible.

      I hate this thought process. Racism isn’t saying mean things even if they are grounded in racial attributes. Racism is a means to oppression.

      Tarantino is a dick but he’s also a great artist.

      QT says some off the wall things but if you read Cinema Speculation, you’ll see how much blaxploitation films inspired his work. He has a unique appreciation for black culture. At the same time, he can be an asshole but he’s probably not a racist.

      I dislike Taratino for a few reasons, but this is not really an angle I could ever take. Just look at his filmography.

      Jackie Brown is a black-female led film that is one of my personal favorites in how it provides a tremendous amount of depth to characters while subverting many unspoken trends of hollywood regarding representation.

      Django Unchained, while very crude at moments, is a thorough deconstruction of Euro-centralism as a justification for racism. It shows the unsophistication of racists who fetishisize their fake-proximity to Europe while not dipping into malicious and often just as racist representations of black characters being solely characterized by their plight or “idyllic representatives” of African-Americans.

      Tarantino has clearly spent a tremendous amount of time researching and thoroughly debasing racism to the point that he could not only articulate a response but make satire of white racists and empowering films for black men and women.

      In the context of these films, not using it would be racist. Using it demonstrates the reality of the culture within context. Denying that would be 100% racist and disingenuous.

      Simple as that. For myself, I never say the N word because it’s not my place to do so.

      I’m black and I have a problem with it. The Samuel L Jackson said I could do I can just kind of bugs me. I feel he just likes saying it but just my opinion.

      i’m white and don’t like or use the n-word but it’s absurd to pretend that people don’t say it

      Yea the N word is awful. Wonder if she’ll talk about the awful fucked up shit she was forced to endure and what happened to her sister at a young age. Name names.
