he hates himself.
black people dig Tarantino movies, but he don't get the pass that he wants.
Tarantino doesn't want to be black.
he is a dork/nerd that always longed to be cool and accepted.
Tarantino wants to be seen as the hip white guy who understands black culture and what it means to be black better than any white man on the planet. Problem is, he is no different than the white people he tries to set himself apart from in order to be seem as "cool". His idea of black is what he saw in the movies as kid. And his black characters stereotypically represent that in his movies.
i suspect some foul sh*t happened to him with black people in his childhood/teen years. seems to be some deep rooted angst towards n*ggas that seems to slip into the screenplays he writes.
