Do y'all think Tony Montana was racist?

[Ineedmoney504]

I’m sure he hated Haitians like Cubans did

 

[JackRoss]

I forgot about white passing neeguhs

If Ernie was black he wouldn't have offered him that job.

Would he make a distinction between Black Cubans and Black Americans?

Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?

The man hated EVERYONE who opposed his dreams.

Well, there was a part in the movie (during the hot tub scene) where he was arguing with Elvira and told her that she should become a teacher and go work with Black kids...

I thought he said Elvira should be a nurse?

It might've been a nurse he was referring to. I haven't seen the movie in a while so my memory is a bit cloudy.

nurse or teacher, the fact that he was willing to entrust a shifty coke whore with working with black children speaks to his intentions

I don't think he mentioned Black children at all

with that horrible accent, I can’t tell if he said “black kids” or “blind kids” lol…the latter makes more sense tho



*edit*

ya he said blind kids and lepers lol

y’all gonna make me watch this movie again

I can’t be forgetting lines

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

He’s a white Cuban, nothing more to be said

 

[JadeB]

Elvira called Tony a whole litany of slurs yet he took it in 99% of the time except for that one time he called her "a piece of white bread"

How much of an insecure simp can you be???

My headcanon is that he was at most 65-70% Spanish. His sister has a fro, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Montana family has a decent amount of African blood. Plus, Taino with their tan skin.

That's not how it works in the implicit latin american caste system.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Don't know why but in Spanish 'v' is pronounced as 'b'. This should be for all Spanish speakers.

Also, soft 'c' is pronounced as 'th'. At least that's how it's properly pronounced in Spain. The Spanish diaspora may be different.

Heard that Spanish speakers (in Spain) can sometimes have a lisp.....one of the Spanish kings from hundreds of years ago was a Hapsburg (extremely inbred family that sat on many European thrones) and had a lisp due to how his jaw was shaped.

Everyone started talking like the king and kept the speech pattern....allegedly.

My Spanish teacher explained it in 7th grade, but I forgot.
Why is B pronounced as V in some words in Spanish.? Think our teacher said it was more prevalent in Cuba.

I've heard reporters say that they were reporting from Habana, Cuba

and in the film, the liberty chant is pronounced Livertat, when it's spelled with a B.

The b/v speech feature in Spanish goes back to the early Middle Ages at least. Probably something that was always common in that region. There's a short medieval Italian poem somewhere that was basically clowning Spanish monks for pronouncing b as v and vice versa.
