“Lack of Women” and “Lead Actors of Color” in Historical Flick on Battle of Dunkirk
Gateway Pundit ^ | July 21,2017 | Jim Hoft

The much-anticipated movie “Dunkirk” opens this weekend in theaters.

USA Today contributor and Social Justice Warrior Brian Truitt blasted the movie this week for not including women and actors of color — in the Dunkirk battle story!

That’s how insane the left has become!

The Daily Wire reported:

USA Today’s Brian Truitt describes himself as a “shameless geek,” but oddly enough omits the fact that he is also just as shamelessly ignorant when it comes to the signaling of his own CorrectThink virtue.

In his review of Dunkirk, director Christopher Nolan’s big-budget look (opening this weekend) at an actual historical event that took place in the early days of World War II, Truitt offers potential ticket-buyers the following trigger warning:

The trio of timelines can be jarring as you figure out how they all fit, and the fact that there are only a couple of women and no lead actors of color may rub some the wrong way.

They had to work to get any women who were not astronaut family members in Apollo 13. And there was a “person of color.”

This is kind of interesting because it’s a new line of attack. They don’t seem to be even saying that improbable colored characters should have been inserted, but rather that since it was a battle that took place mostly among White People, it’s a story that shouldn’t be told at all. Pathetic!

Well.... the FACTS are the FACTS.

It makes no sense to re write the historic record JUST to suit present political trends.

That wouldn’t be history... it would be FICTION

I’m pretty sure there weren’t any women or blacks on the attacking German side either. But I could be wrong.

Blame those dead, white, European males for saving civilization one more time.

Or running the rescue boats.

There might have been a few females in that group. At the time it is doubtful anyone noticed or cared. They had other things on their minds.

Yes, what the film Dunkirk was lacking is the Hollywood stereotype big-boned sassy-black woman, talking truth to the white men on the beach.

Fact-based movies about such periods of history will soon be as forbidden as statues of Confederate officers.

Hitler’s 3 Muslim Divisions were elsewhere that day.
