So either some middle eastern city or the United States

That neighborhood actually looks like my exact neighborhood I used to live in, except the houses are a bit bigger.

Also, they could have found a better picture of a "black neighborhood". Those 2 guys look really friendly, plus the photo of the neighborhood makes me think of those neighborhoods where if any dark person walks in everyone shuts their doors and blinds and calls Neighborhood Watch.

Well, the source is stormfront and to them the darker the skin, the more icky the person is.

Off topic:

Nicki, your signature is hypnotizing.

Thanks, it's from this week's episode of the Clone Wars.

I must admit, Clone Wars is a surprisingly well produced show.  What few episodes I've seen I have legitimately enjoyed.

Then again I enjoy the prequels, and find Little!Anakin to be fairly tolerable, and I even like Jar Jar Binks, so my opinions are nothing like the majority of the fan base.

[nickiknack]

I love the show, plus I'm not a hater of the prequels. Now to me prequels is all about Palpatine and how he spins his little web, fooling everyone in the process.

[Witchyjoshy]

Honestly, I will say this --

The action is kinda better in the prequels.  The fight scenes feel more dramatic, and some of the sillier parts actually make sense because, well, it's basically high speed feinting and counter feinting.  Feinting is a useful tactic in sword fighting, especially when your swords are capable of cutting through flesh like a hot knife through better.

Though at the same time, the original trilogy's sword-fighting was more suspenseful, more thoughtful, and more like two samurai dueling.  So they both have their upsides and downsides really.

I hated it when Lucas decided to make the Dark Side less ambiguous, though.  The Dark Side is awesome and more overt, and negative emotions and energy isn't always a bad thing.  But no, anyone who uses the Dark Side is automatically evil, apparently.

Pity because the Grey Jedi sounded like they were interesting.

So, apparently, their ideal people would be albino.

Less ambiguous? wasn't the Dark Side always the evil side, or was there some subtext in the original trilogy that flew over my head?

I've always seen their "ideal" representative as a skinny 20 year old model with doe eyes. Usually she's got a tan, makeup, and bleached, straightened hair. I mean if you're trying to represent the master race, at least show how the master race doesn't need to be a super model with all that beauty product to be gorgeous.

The Extended Universe that came out after the original trilogy introduced the concept of Grey Jedi -- Jedi who use both the Dark Side and the Light Side of the force, believing that maintaining balance was the best path.

Then Lucas and his company went "No" and decided to retcon them into being delusional.

I dunno if racists realize this, but Europe really sucked for most of history. People lived in filth, they were always fighting each other, and the whitest of the whites(the Vikings, etc) weren't exactly civilized beings...

Also the seem to forget how geography can affect culture. The reason China, the Middle East, and Europe were so advanced was because they're all "horizontal", to traveling is easier, since then you don't have to deal with dramatic changes in climate. Africa and the America's aren't horizontal, so there's less place to travel. They can't trade stuff as much and aren't exposed to others much.
