Chewbacca: foreigner stereotype
Dec. 28th, 2020 02:45 pmWhile watching Solo: A Star Wars Story, I realized that Chewie is the quintessential foreigner from an American POV: ugly, too hairy, speaking gobbledygook, oafish, asexual, but very useful at doing the menial, physical dirty work. There is a bit of overlap here with most Borat movie foreign characters unintelligible utterings (Hebrew, Bulgarian, Romanian presented as Kazakh) and maybe even with Dilbert's Elbonian cameos.
