This has to be true as we all know, Clint is the "man" - we have seen him in too many movies that show 'right' from 'wrong' with the wrong guys losing ,and, for the most part, they have been directed by Clint himself.
Clint, you have "made my day" - keep the faith!
Clint Eastwood Slams Political Correctness
Friday, February 27, 2009
Actor Clint Eastwood sees nothing funny about political correctness.
The "Dirty Harry" actor told Germany's Der Spiegel that modern society lives in a state of fear over the possibility of being labeled racist for telling jokes based on ethnicity or nationality.
"People have lost their sense of humor," he told the magazine. "In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth otherwise you will be insulted as a racist.
"I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a 'Sam the Jew' or 'Jose the Mexican' -- but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem.
"I don't want to be politically correct. We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything."
