Funny, I was just remembering some of the lines between Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in "48 Hours", where they both used all kinds of racial epithets. IMO the movie itself was pretty well done, but I'm sure it couldn't be shown now without major edits, if it was shown at all.

To your point about the Khmer Rouge, that is exactly the plan liberals have for us, if they ever truly get power and get us disarmed ("good luck" with that attempt, since so many of us know the history of repressive regimes).

the KR insurgency gained power and eventually took over. No more rock ‘n’ roll, no more anything. By some estimates as many as three million Cambodians were killed by their own countrymen, a quarter of the country’s population.

Cities were emptied out, “bourgeois” citizens were eliminated (including teachers, writers, or anyone who so much as wore glasses), and the entire country was forced into farm labor in an effort to stamp out “corrupt” influences. Pop records were burned; the KR instead elevated rural folk songs. Former popsters who managed to live through the terror still have a shocked expression on their faces today. As they tell their stories, the film’s music and montage combine for a strong emotional effect, reflecting the guilty sadness of those who lived.
