I sometimes have to wonder about Peter Jackson. When Return of the King came out, a whole discussion about his position about race broke out in Anil Dash's blog. Some people were saying that Jackson was a racist; while others were more apologetic; pointing to the original source and saying that Tolkien was the racist, not Jackson. But if the issues of race in the whole LOTR were a bit muddled by the work's anti-war message, with King Kong race is front and center.
I am going to reserve my comments about Jackson and the race issue in King Kong until after I see the movie. Suffice it to say that Aaron reminds us with his sharp wit what that movie is ultimately all about.
