>Look, I have business associates who are black, and they don't want our sons with their daughters, and we don't want their sons with our daughters. Understand?
What did he mean by this?
How did they manage to pull off this kind of thing without making Tony seem ridiculous, or shaming him like crazy. Meadow/Noah are depicted as pretty annoying/whiny about this. The show genuinely doesn't seem to take a viewpoint/condemn racism. How did they manage to pull this off without uproar?
The regressive left took over society after the show ended
Xavier Bennett
>it's a Noah takes Meadow's virginity episode
i hate this episode
Liam Gomez
Its impossible for PoC to be racist therefore Tony technically wasn't being racist
Eli Ortiz
No father wants their children dating niggers.
Ian James
It was before todays SJW's existed
Tyler Scott
He was talking to a tizzun, you know what I mean?
Sebastian Fisher
Because Soprano and his goons are portrayed as the bad guys.
Gavin Anderson
Didn't Tony defend a black nurse in the first episode?
Also why didn't T didn't really care that his son was fucking a mestizo? Is there a difference in having a son that race mixes and a daughter that race mixes?
Jackson Clark
he was probally glad that his son didn't turn out gay
Aaron Thomas
Yes.
Evan Gray
Tony was depicted as having a lot of good qualities as well, he was a very complex character. To say he was racist because he was bad is silly, because he wasn't just a bad guy. Was casual racism really that prevalent just 10-15 years ago? It didn't seem like it to me.
John Adams
Meadow turned into a SJW though. This shit was around when the show was airing but it wasn't as influencial.
Andrew Ortiz
This may blow your mind:
Men and women aren't the same Men and women are not equivalents in any way.
Ryan Green
>Was casual racism really that prevalent just 10-15 years ago? It didn't seem like it to me. No, people just didn't go cry all over the internet about it
Kayden Wilson
The internet back then wasn't like it is today. No way in hell the Sopranos would get made in current year.
Brayden Gray
Was this really racism though? I mean not wanting to mix with other races seem to be a trait shared by many communities.
Mason Scott
You mean a ditzune, you illiterate shithead. Fuck off and meme on reddit instead.
Luke Russell
I always skip it.
Or I would if Sopranos wasn't the highest tv kino.
Daniel Martin
I don't consider it racist really, but most would.
Connor Cook
>Was casual racism really that prevalent just 10-15 years ago? It didn't seem like it to me.
It wasn't thought of as "racism" because literally no one wanted their daughter to date a black guy.
Ayden Gomez
>Was casual racism really that prevalent just 10-15 years ago?
Howard Stern used to get away with saying "nigger" on a national radio station owned by NBC. People are just insanely uptight nowadays.
Ayden Campbell
I mean, it's not like I give a shit or anything, but viewing another race as inferior to your own and not wanting your children to mix with them is kind of the definition of racism.
Samuel Rodriguez

It's funny because Meadow, an Italian is darker than an actual nig. Really makes you think.
Gavin Perez
The show didn't portray Tony as justified. It was obviously part of his tradition but even Carmela had a hard time explaining his racism to Meadow. And yeah, Noah was depicted as a pretentious asshole but that had nothing to do with the fact that he was black. It was because he's a Jew.
Thomas Cruz
You're putting words in his mouth. He never claimed they were inferior. He just wanted to keep their communities separate outside of business exchanges and wants his grandkids to look like him.
Matthew King
sicilians are part eggplant anyway
Luis Price
DELETE THIS
Colton Jackson
>italians
Easton Hernandez
If Meadow had a tan she would be darker than that guy. He looks half black.
Alexander Adams
It was relegated to college campus, literally a phase the people grow out of, like dying your hair green and shaving the sides off. Now these freaks have infiltrated society as professional victims; perpetual teenagers who refuse to grow the fuck up.
Evan Campbell
That little faggot didn't fuck her. Come on man, it's obvious he was friendzoned as fuck.
Think about this then: the actress who played Meadow is actually...............A JEW!
Jackson Torres
Jamie Lynn Sigler isn't white in the first place, she's Jewish.
Jaxson Wright
He was. His father is a Jew.
Ayden Walker

>I mean, it's not like I give a shit or anything, but viewing another race as inferior to your own and not wanting your children to mix with them is kind of the definition of racism.
That's like saying it's bad that you don't want your kid to mate with someone with downs syndrome or who is ugly. Certain races have inferior genetics--there's no two ways about it.
Adam Fisher
It's okay for minority to be racist. He is Italian so he is safe. It's only not okay for WASP to be
Caleb Murphy
you know
it's pretty racist to go against italians you know
Caleb Long
Have you even seen the show? Tony clearly views blacks as inferior. Why else wouldn't he want his daughter mixing with them? It's obvious he'd prefer she date an Italian but I don't see him freaking out if she dated some white guy as long as he wasn't a piece of trash.
Noah Evans
this was in the utopia of the early 00s before smartphones and clickbait articles where it was alright to depict someone as having old fashioned values without it meaning you're promoting them
Jaxon Gray
Because back when the show was made we had largely achieved racial harmony and everybody accepted that they'd rather be with their own.
Forced diversity is a meme that came later and is thankfully now in decline.
Ian Flores
>It's a Tony finds out Meadow is Jewish episode
Hunter Jackson
Mate, 99% of communities typically prefer people breeding within said community. It's literally how it's always been. It's completely natural.
Lincoln Nelson
Because the audience's racism already made people primed to believe an Italian like Tony would be racist to begin with
Most Italians of a certain age are pretty bigoted. It comes from living next to blacks in crowded urban areas and being the second- or third-lowest on the totem pole a century ago
Aiden Cooper
>yfw you realise Tony got cucked by a Jew
David Stewart
Again, there's no indication he'd have a huge problem with her dating a white guy, so it's obviously not just keeping with one's own, he has a specific issue with black people.
And, again, it's not like I give a shit, it was just part of his character, but come on if you can't at least admit Tony Soprano was racist you've gone full Sup Forumstard
Kevin Cox
>It was because he's a Jew. jews aren't black
Benjamin Hernandez
Because he relate far better with a white guy than he would a black guy. He'd still prefer an italian guy over either. He has a preference, not a prejudice. There's plenty of other ways tony was an asshole but this was completely reasonable.
Jacob Powell
but they ARE white, so your little theory goes out the window
fuck off with your oversensitive politically correct nonsense. DAS RACIS!!!!!!!!!!
Owen Brown
So you're not willing to concede that Tony Soprano was racist? Because that's something that's pretty much universally agreed upon, we just forgive him for it because he's so fucking funny about it and we've already accepted him as a very flawed protagonist.
>Jamal Goldstein
Christian Smith
I can't ever remember that scene from the show. Can you post a link?
Anthony Bennett
>MFW someone tries to lecture me on movies and have sex with my daughter
Brandon Thompson
It's not "my little theory" you retard, people have been talking about Tony Soprano's racism since the time the show was actually airing. Fuck off back to Sup Forums

If we had the Italian mob in America nowadays. Trump would win the election easily

Owen Torres
What western college students think is racism is different than what the rest of the world think is racism. Tony's attitudes are the exact same as practically every single community on earth besides Western ones. Get some perspective. No one in Sri Lanka, or Japan, or Mongolia would find him racist.
Wyatt Richardson
Don't watch the show out of sequence, plen.

Maybe it's because David Chase isn't a hack piece of shit and maybe HBO understood how to make good quality shows.
>Whenever an actor would go to David Chase to complain about his/her character, arguing the character would never do this or that thing, it has been reported multiple times that Chase would respond: 'Who told you it is your character?'
Ryder Parker

was that supposed to be an analogy? thats terrible and doesnt even work in any shape or form

That same show also gave us eighteen episodes of filler where a fat runaway mafioso fucks a gay biker/firehose operator, before promptly returning, getting beaten to death, and having a pool cue forcefully shoved deep into his own rectum.
I forgot where I was going with this but I'm sure you guys will make the parallels.
Gavin Gutierrez
If I were to ever break my rule against being with coal burners it would be with her.
Noah Hernandez
Are you literally retarded? You were suggesting Tony's actions weren't racist because racism is a lot worse in other parts of the world. Since I apparently have to hold your hand through this, in the analogy Tony's racism is equivalent to punching someone, and lynching a black person or some of the shit that goes on in other parts of the world would be stabbing them. Just because one is worse than the other doesn't mean they don't both qualify as racism or violence.
Lucas Torres
>what is an analogy
Jordan Gomez
stop trying to make analogies
Jordan Sanders
He looks like that Jewish kid on The Goldbergs.
Thomas Perry
Because everyone knows that's how people feel. Not everybody but a LOT of people don't want black grandchildren. Especially people who take pride in their heritage which the mafia clearly does.
There's a scene in the prequel to the Sopranos where Tommy's with a girl and he almost considers beating her because she said Sammy Davis Jr was attractive.
Hudson Ward
I think Breaking Bad might be a little more your speed, champ.
Robert Walker
They're usually appropriate. Yours isn't by trying to bring vulgar shit like murder into what I thought was a civilized conversation. If you can't talk with people without bringing murder and lynching into things, you need to calm down.
Daniel Sanders
There were exactly 4 Vito episodes. 5 if you count the one where Finn saw him blowing a security guard
Joshua Diaz
I think the Vito arc was less about him being gay and more about how you can never escape the mob life.
Ayden Brooks
we have a hothead here
Jason Evans
Imagine The Sopranos written by a faggot like Vince Giligan. >Tony is actually the one cucked by a strong and independent Carmella. >Paulie becomes a cold and usually humorless operator like Mike. >Tony goes around and spouts meme phrases like "I am the strong, silent type" whenever he faces a boss from another family >Tony goes on and try to murder kids because we need to hate him. >Christopher gets the Jesse treatment Wait, Jesse was actually the only well written character of the show.
Austin Thomas
you've embarassed yourself enough with these poor attempts at analogies, don't try and act condescending now
