Burning the Candle at Both Ends

A very interesting story floated my way from Germany today. From the New York Daily News, via Dispatches from the Culture Wars (it’s a bit long, but stay with it):

“A German porn star has been dropped by the national neo-Nazi party after her latest film features her having sex with a black man.

The National Democratic Party of Germany had no problem making Ina Groll, 28, the face of its right leaning party, until her latest movie unveiled her in a multi-racial tryst.

The blond tattooed Nazi spokeswoman, who encouraged men to join the cause by wearing seductive outfits outside of polling places, was deemed a poor representation of its organization due to her latest film Kitty Discovers Sperm, according to Capitalism Is Freedom.

It appears Groll, whose porn name is Kitty Blair, is not only unwelcome at Nazi functions but also faces a boycott by German pornographers.

‘The popular view is that she needs to be locked up, no one needs someone like her with her perverted view of the world,’ Axel Schaffrath, a German porn insider who is the former partner of top German porn star Gina Wild, told Central European News. ‘She certainly has no chance of filming any more porn movies after her Nazi links were revealed. I personally advised the producers to keep her as far away as possible, people like her need to be ignored by everyone.’

John Thompson, head of the Berlin porn film company GGG, told the news agency there had been a unanimous decision to boycott the blond actress.

‘In the porn film industry, we welcome participants with all skin colours, and all nationalities, but we don’t welcome Nazis,” he said. “If we had known about her political activities, we would have sent her home straight away.'”

Now I’ve seen some stuff from GGG. Timid it is not. But I’m having a hard time imagining anyone in the adult industry in the United States getting blacklisted like that. Can you think of an instance where that would happen?

That said, I’ve frequently complained about outdated racial stereotypes in porn, and I’m not backing off of that. It’s a damn sight better than overt racism, though.

(Hat tip to Dispatches for the info and for pointing out that a porn parody of Hogan’s Heroes would be right up her alley.)
