In a recent profile with The New York Times Style Magazine by novelist-screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis, Tarantino spoke about how he's depicted among African-American critics.
The Oscar-winner gave his thoughts about how his 2013 film "Django Unchained" was attacked because it was written and directed by a white man.
The film follows a free slave (Jamie Foxx) who sets out to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from a Mississippi plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio),
It's not just the press that went against Tarantino. Following the release Spike Lee tweeted this about the film and Tarantino's depiction of slavery in the deep South:
American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust.My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa.I Will Honor Them.

Tarantino continued in the Times profile:
And he wasn't done there.
When the subject came up of the Oscar snub last year for Ava DuVernay's civil rights drama "Selma," Tarantino gave a backhanded compliment to its director.

Tarantino's upcoming film, "The Hateful Eight," will begin its roadshow screenings on Christmas Day and then debut nationwide on January 8.
