What To Do With The Oompaloopa's

 As for watching television I don't tune in often for one reason---it's horrible. But today I watched one of my favorite movies, Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory; the original film with Gene Wilder. It was made in the olden days as in 1971. Golly, that's 50 years ago. I was sort of shocked at the time frame but it is what it is.

Anyway, I began wondering if SJW's would allow it to be made in our era. I mean, the Oompaaloompa's might feel the need to hire diversity, equity, inclusion officials to help them adjust to big folks. At the end of the film Wonka was talking to young Charlie and told him he was giving him Wonkaland. His explation was he was getting older and when he was gone who would take cafe of the 'Little People'. I thought that quite condescending of the man. Of course, they can take care of themselves. All they need is their government.
