inglorious basterds is a masterpiece, the opening scene alone is amazing. Pulp fiction might be my favourite Tarentino film though. Django is another brilliant one with an even stronger anti-racist theme. The rise in far right politics in the UK and Europe as a whole seems to be similar to the US. I believe the media/news has a lot to blame for blowing things out of proportion (the "they're stealing our jobs" headlines, among others)

Stealing the job is a popular headline for Trump here. The trouble is: do you think Salim the neurosurgeon and Iranian American can be replaced by Bill Bubba the redneck from West Virginia? The answer is NO. Also Bill Bubba won’t get up at 4am to clean chickens or work at a steel mill. Alfanso Escobar from Honduras will. And Alfanso is neither a rapist nor a drug dealer. He is a family man.
not going to lie I've had to google who Bill Bubba is. I'm going to have to do some research 😂
Bill Bubba search won't give you the right result. In US it is just a proverbial term for something that Hillary Clinton called 'deplorable', arguably the comment that lost her the election to Trump. It was the start of the anti-ellite movement.
The phrase is used by many, especially one of my fav authors Bill Bryson in the book I'm a Stranger Here Myself.
Haha thats good to know, I was getting Bill "Bubba" Bussey and thinking what's the relevance of this guy? I get the reference now, thanks for clearing that up.
