Moore Racism

The movie farenheight 911 was not only full of deceit and half thruths, it also had a racist undertone at parts.

When Moore was making fun of the coalition of countrys that were to fight with the United States in Iraq at several parts he showed overt racism and stereotyping. He also failed to mention the rest of the countries in the coaltion that were strong countries, including: Spain, Italy, Poland and Great Brittain. When describing Palau, Moore, sterotypically, uses a video of native Palaun dancers, inplying that this is the way that all Palauns act and live.

Another racist part of the movie is when Moore taps into the fears of Americans by portraying Saudi leaders that members of the Bush adminsitration meet with as evil. By doing this, he is using video of American leaders meeting with Middle Eastern people, to try to prey on the fear of some Americans that Middle Eastern people are evil.
