Finding something to watch with my parents is a Herculean task. I feel like there’s no pleasing them. My mom doesn’t like science fiction, fantasy, or horror. My parents are pretty homophobic (with two lgbt adult children, yay us), so no matter how good a movie is, lgbt characters might be an issue. Like I love the Birdcage but they would never sit through it.

My only personal preference is id prefer to keep sex and nudity to a minimum bc sex scenes in movies when your watching with your parents is always awkward.

I got them to watch the Menu. They thought is was “fine”.

In American history, segregation and Jim Crow laws were always discussed as a Black and White matter. How did these laws affect people of other ethnic groups (Hispanic, Slavic, Jewish, Chinese, Irish, etc.)? I’m particularly interested in how these laws allowed/disallowed interracial marriages that didn’t involve white people

Edit: this is of course not to draw attention away from the impacts these laws had on black people, the primary targets thereof. Just curious because discussions around these laws usually imply a racial binary that a lot of people don’t fit into.
