Quentin Tarantino Blasts Rosanna Arquette for Criticising His N-Word Use

There’s no white person on the planet who loves saying the N-word more than Quentin Tarantino, with the legendary director now hitting back at Rosanna Arquette for criticising his very liberal use of the word in his filmography.

Arquette, who played Jody in Tarantino’s 1994 classic Pulp Fiction, was discussing the movie in an interview with The Times last week when she said: “It’s iconic, a great film on a lot of levels. But personally I am over the use of the N-word — I hate it.”

On Tarantino using the word in all his films: “I cannot stand that he has been given a hall pass. It’s not art, it’s just racist and creepy.”

Tarantino, 62, has now hit back at Arquette’s ‘betrayal’ in a letter obtained by The Wrap.

He wrote: “Dear Rosanna,

I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of? 

Do you feel this way now? 

Very possibly. 

But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor. 

There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues. 

But it would appear the objective was accomplished. 

Congratulations 

Q”

Well, I’m not sure he’s one to talk about class given the way he treated Paul Dano recently, but I guess it is lame of Rosanna Arquette to retrospectively condemn the dialogue in a hit movie that she had no qualms about being a part of at the time.

Funnily enough, the black actors that Tarantino casts in his movies don’t take issue with Tarantino’s use of the N-word at all. Samuel L. Jackson, a frequent Tarantino collaborator, has previously defended the director, arguing that a writer must be honest to how characters actually speak in their specific environments.

Similarly, Jamie Foxx has defended Tarantino’s use of the N-word by claiming he “uses it correctly”, whatever that means.

As for Arquette and the other critics, I suppose it’s not that they don’t understand that racist characters would talk this way, but rather just think it’s a little sus that Tarantino often casts himself as the characters who say it.

He also once went on Howard Stern and used the N-word a bunch of times, while Stern’s black co-host sat there awkwardly:

What can you say really? Apparently the guy has an N-word pass so fair play to him. Now can we give John Davidson one? You know, seeing that he can’t help it and all.
