cimoreneNot that it's not usually also offensive - but how sad is it that US tv treatment of Vudun/Santaría is typically less offensive than its treatment of the Roma?
Too bad, too, because the special 200th ep of CSI had an awesome guest director and absolutely gorgeous camerawork. At least it was mostly limited to offensive exoticisation in the "scary primitive people doing tribal dances" scene, as opposed to suggesting that they, for example, kill white parents and steal their babies (thx, Criminal Minds, for giving everyone else something to live down to).
