According to Spike Lee, that famous Chinese filmmaker who loves to do movies about basketball, Clint's movies portray a dearth of darkies sacrificing themselves for their Army and Marine Corps buddies by throwing their bodies on top of 'nades.

Spike says, "We all know dat dose Whiteys used da black man to pave dere way troo da Pacific to enslave da yellow man. Deyes be evil!"

We'll see how many white soldiers are in Lee's film. It seems to me that I remember reading that soldiers were pretty much segregated in WW2, Hogan's Heroes aside.

I fUcking LOVE Clint Eastwood. Cool actor, awesome director, awesome guy. Really, sometimes I wish I was gay just so I could fantasize on him.

Spike Lee, not so much, though he did do some ok stuff I guess.

I hear there will be thousands. However, they'll all be played by one of the Turturro brothers.

I feel the same way about Clive Owen.

Lee — whose next film is this fall's "Miracle at St. Anna," the story of an all-black U.S. division fighting in Italy during the war —

Amazon.com wrote:
In Miracle at St. Anna, James McBride, author of the bestselling memoir The Color of Water, tells a war story that, like all great tales of conflict, connects the enormous tragedy of war with the intimate stories of individual soldiers. Miracle at St. Anna vividly follows four of the U.S. Army's 92nd Division of all-black buffalo soldiers as they become trapped between forces beyond their control and between worlds.

Not many, I would guess, although I'm sure he couldn't get away without white extras to represent the majority population. There's no reason to go off specifically on Eastwood--I would venture to say that no one doing a WWII movie thinks about making sure the races are fairly represented.

Well, again, the races were segregated in the Army in the 40s. So I don't see where Lee can really complain much about Eastwood not having random black soldiers showing up.
