Mister M Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Apparently there's lots of examples of 'whitewashing' in film....I wonder of that's going to make its way into the pages of the Daily Mail or Telegraph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I've already said, the country wasn't all white, that's whitewashing of history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or unless the National Trust points out where the money came from to build the pretty stately home they are visiting when suddenly they aren't all that interested in history after all. The far right will whinge just as much at historical accuracy as it will about historical inaccuracy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
