Tarantino’s “ghetto” gaffe: His Golden Globes Morricone speech does not impress

In his early movies, Quentin Tarantino loved using “the n word.” At the Golden Globes tonight, he pulled another racially-loaded term as he praised Ennio Morricone, who won best original score for Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight.” Tarantino called Morricone “my favorite composer.” He didn’t mean just movie composers — “that ghetto — but “I’m talking Mozart, I’m talking Beethoven, I’m talking Schubert.” https://twitter.com/Ceee_Teee/status/... So far, with the win for “Mozart in the Jungle,” it’s been a big night at the Globes for classical music. But “ghetto,” no matter how Tarantino might have intended it, is a racially-charged term, and Tarantino has unleashed something online. https://twitter.com/MattCullenSEM/sta... Jamie Foxx, who played the lead in Tarantino’s controversial “Django Unchained,” was not impressed. He simply repeated “ghetto” after taking back the mic. http://twitter.com/NubianQueeNAE/stat... This could have gotten ugly, but didn't. But you kind of wonder what happened backstage.
