TARZAN IS RACIST, DAMMIT (Media Bitchings for April 27, 1998)

Okay, now - I know the film didn't do so well in it's opening weekend, but I must protest the new Tarzan flick. I know it's just frothy crap, but why even bother? At it's heart, the film encourages and embraces racial stereotypes. Sure, black people live in the jungle and they're just black people, but when a white man is raised there, suddenly he can talk to animals. What's up with that?? AND MOST OF ALL: Who told Casper the loser ghost that he could act?!? This dude couldn't carry a porno!
