Outcries of racism as Texas considers subsidising the movie "Machete"
Some texan critics of the latest Robert Rodriguez’s feature “Machete” are calling for the cancelation of a state subsidy, suggesting it would be state-sponsored racism. Prison Planet’s Alex Jones slammed the film as ‘pro-immigration, anti-Texas’, while Fox News attached the movie for ‘blaming everything that’s gone wrong in Mexico on the Anglos’.
In an article, Jones called for the cancellation of the subsidy claiming the producers lied about the story. He adds “Does Texas want to subsidize the films of Robert Rodriguez and continue to give him a platform to spew divisive racially-tinted trash oriented at Hispanics and attempting to radicalize their views?” The law rules out incentives for movies that cast Texas in a negative light.
Other film critics have described the movie as an ‘over-the-top pastiche of Westerns, revenge thrillers, cultural stereotypes, and soft-core porn’.
