This is what happens when you make a film utilizing Norse mythology. movies.ign.com/articles/114/1140914p1.htmlFor those not in the know, viking imagery is a staple of white pride tattoo culture. That is to say that bigots really, really like Thor, who is kind of seen as the ultimate Aryan. So that large angry white fellow with Mjolnir tattooed on the back of his neck above the lightning bolt "SS" may not be the comic fan you assumed he was. So yeah, apparently we're now expected to not go see Thor since they had the gall to cast a black man in a movie they were hoping was going to be an unofficial celebration of white power. Good luck with that, fellas. Now I kind of wish they'd cast a minority as Jane Foster to really ram it home sans lube.

Quite strikingly ironic that the character he's playing, Heimdall, is also known as the White God.
Yep, I can really see millions of people leaving Thor alone because of this. It's a reassuring sign that these idiotic, ignorant creatures are now the subject of mockery more than anything.
And "darky"? What a quaint British word, Trash. I didn't know that term was used over in your way!

Mostly only in a mocking sense. I'm not sure I've heard it used with actual malice before, but it's pretty commonly used by people imitating racists for a laugh.
