"Homeland" racist?

This episode of The Clangers wasn't "destroyed" by the voice actors swearing, because the audience, like Homeland's never noticed.

Let make a date to in five years come back and talk about the German crime rate and the breakdown of German society.

Would you care to take a position on how much vandalism of art to drive a political cause is OK?

But fortunately, the vast majority doesn't want the Nazis back.

It's not vandalism, it's another, (arguably superior,) art form.

You're upset because Americans were made to look stupid, as they so often are, and as you always are.

But fortunately, the vast majority doesn't want the Nazis back.

Are you helping with the clean up yet, Wally?

I honestly don't understand you or anyone else who wants the Nazis back to Germany.

German neo Nazis fly the Confederate flag because they're not allowed to display the swastika, and it means the same thing anyway.

Last week, news broke that local artists, hired to “add authenticity” to scenes set in a Syrian refugee camp, had actually spray-painted messages like “Homeland is racist” and “Homeland is a joke.” (The scenes, like the rest of Homeland Season 5, were filmed in Germany.) That no one noticed this sabotage until the episode actually aired in the U.S. is a vicious indictment of the sort of cultural tourism that many domestic productions engage in. Hollywood wants to tell stories about terrible things happening to Americans but remains frustratingly uninterested in the lives or motivations of those non-Americans who are doing them. Homeland is far from the worst offender — I’d argue that the show nearly always tries to complicate its stories and, eventually, its antagonists. But what happened last week strikes me as an inevitable side effect of a storytelling culture built on shocks and reaction as opposed to open-minded engagement. That the world is a frightening place is a natural starting point for a dramatic story. But that point shouldn’t be a period.
