If there was an Academy Award for Coolness, 79-year old Clint Eastwood would’ve won hands down. Then again, if the Academy Awards had any credibility left, Gran Torino would have been nominated for Best Picture.
From Yahoo India (Editor’s Note: We are really outsourcing EVERYTHING these days, huh?):
The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him “a racist”.
“I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican’ – but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct.
The only thing that would’ve made this better is if Eastwood then told a joke about a pissed off, old guy. But hey, this is a start.
