When Quentin Tarantino’s proposed Star Trek project got rejected, I said to myself, Good. Now I don’t have to hear Captain Kirk say the “n-word”.

I don’t even want to imagine what atrocities Tarantino would have done to Uhuru.

However, there’s persistent rumors that Tarantino wants to do a remake of Reservoir Dogs, using African-American actors.

This is a very bad idea.

Throughout his career, the controversial, trash-talking Rebel Without A Clue has never been insightful about racial politics, and Tarantino has only gotten worse.

On The Joe Rogan Experience, Tarantino was openly contemptuous and dismissive when asked about his racist stereotyping of Bruce Lee in Once Upon A Time In America.

And although I think Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece, this controversial scene still gives me a migraine:

[Jules, Vincent and Jimmie are drinking coffee in Jimmie’s kitchen]

Jules : Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster’s Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on…
