I mean sure, you can put words in my mouth there, but weren't you there humping bags of concrete to build wells or something? Pretty sure it's hard to ignore Tom Hank's existence, even in meme form where there's electricity and indoor plumbing ffs. Wilson? Starting a fire? Run Forrest, Run? Life is like a box of chocolates? I was shot in the buttocks... I'm the captain now...etc. he's as meme-able as nic cage and has been in dozens of better films.

It amazes me how quickly the generations behind me default to "-ist" and "-phobe" at the slightest pushback. Better run to a hall monitor lest you get stuffed in a locker...

We both know what you're doing here, so there's no point in playing dumb. We both know the loincloth comment was meant to evoke primitive people or nomadic tribal people. Electricity and running water are not common outside major cities in Sierra Leone, but that doesn't mean it is a country of primitive, loincloth-wearing people, nor a country of nomadic tribal people. When you say to see your loincloth comment in response to me specifically bringing up another country, a predominately black one, to imply a non-existent primitiveness, then I don't see how it can be interpreted as anything but racist.
