The Daily Mail noted that "Zulu" in particular "had been listed as a 'key text' for 'white nationalists' and 'supremacists' by the Government's beleaguered anti-terrorism Prevent scheme."
The Daily Mail added that actual living Zulu royalty has defended the film as well, as the "leader of the Zulu tribe Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, now 94, who played own his great-grandfather King Cetshwayo in the film, said it should not be viewed through a 21st-century lens.""Even if the past is uncomfortable, and perhaps especially when the past is uncomfortable, it needs to be examined and unpacked rather than hidden away. Of course race is a central theme in the film," he reportedly told British newspaper The Times.

This reminds me of an article I read ages ago about feminist analysis of Shakespeare in which one of the arguments was that the real goal of the conspirators in Julius Caesar is to downgrade Caesar to a woman by making him bleed. 🤣 — Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦 (@CathyYoung63) March 10, 2023
