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.

One of the people claiming Watto is a stereotype of a Jew is none other than columnist John Leo. He also implied Jar Jar was a caricature of black people. I began taking the allegations more seriously after that. However, it seems that the complaints about THIS movie ARE the usual nonsense...
