it all boils down to POV. I'm so curious as to how the entire population of the world doesn't address contemporary slavery. Or, why would people think the tragedy of slavery falls on one particular people?
We don't have a one on one problem, we have a political problem. Here, we have not had a violent protest as yet. That's pretty good.
GWTW was Hollywood creating an idealized setting of grandiose wealth and obsequious manners. Women have long eaten that up especially in the South.
GWTW has been creating its mythic time and romance, innocently, for so long until a few individuals inform/dictate it is bad. This doesn't bode well for the future of film or television.
