Why is there in almost every fucking action movie a character from Eastern Europe, and 98% of time it’s some drug dealer, mafia, mob boss, smuggler, thief, gang member or leader or some criminal in general. Even if it’s not a plot point, they have to at least mention it.

It doesn’t have to be Russia, it’s either Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Hungary, Montenegro, Albania etc. I heard this in movies on TV at least 100 times just this year.

Why the fuck do you always have to at least mention Eastern Europe in any way? You ruined and pillaged the region 30 years ago and turned it into a hellhole it is today full of criminals, corruption, bourgeoise and fascists politicians, what the fuck do you want anymore?

Rant over.

    Could also be Latin America.

    Don’t forget that one.

      Every cartel member is a fat, bumbling, stupid, incompetent Hispanic fool, but also an extremely cunning, ruthless, chemist and criminal mastermind that is always one step ahead of the protagonist.

      Like Jesus Christ, please pick a side Hollywood, they can’t be both stereotypes at once.

        As ridiculous as it is, it’s also classic fascism logic (per Umberto Eco): The enemy is both strong and weak.

          Maybe because they couldn’t take down Fidel, they leave him out ;-)
