Cuella also seems to have forgotten that little white Anakin and his white mother were slaves to a creature named Watto...

You know what they said about "Watto", don't cha?

1. He was a "hook nose" stereotype of an Arab shop keeper.

2. But I also heard he was a "hook nose" stereotype of a Jewish shop keeper.

Imagine if he had spent a bundle on booze and strippers the night before he flew into a building.

And if memory serves me right, the left cried foul over Watto and accused Lucas of making him a 'money hungry jew'.

So true. As you read through the posts it is evident that there is a LOT that the leftists didn't consider before they made their stupid attacks on the movie. But, no one ever gave the left points for deep thinking.

Watto had a Jewish nose and a vaguely Greek accent! Was Lucas implying that Jews and Greeks dominated the slave trade?
