Most commenters seem to be assuming that he took his original criteria seriously and the result happened to be one that some people found offensive. I think that's assuming the best. Meanwhile, those offended seem to be assuming the worst - some sort of bias.

Firstly, I'm not offended by the original list, and I don't think many people were. Most people arguing here are offended by the reaction to the additions. But more importantly, I don't think someone has to be biased to simply not think of particular films when compiling his list, nor do I think one has to be "not taking it seriously" in order to do so.
