deckardcaninePeople are turning violent over the "Slumdog" title.
Apparently, oversensitivity is thriving in India just as in the West. I take it that these protesters have never seen the movie in question and fail to realize that the slur does not reflect Boyle's personal opinion. Reminds me of those who object to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because they think it's racist.
