It seems that most people have the wrong definition for racist.

90% of these responses are about racial stereotypes... not racism.

Black people eating watermelon, latinos having low riders, asians eating egg rolls are all stereotypes... not racism.

Racism means you think a race is inferior.

There is nothing wrong with watermelon, low riders or egg rolls...

While not outright racist, Blackhawk Down portrayed black Somalis as alien "others" and often little better than savages.

Anything with John Wayne in it.

Richard Pryor's "That great person's Crazy."

I am telling you, those cars with the "negro dialect" were portrayed very negatively in Transformers 2.

Maybe not racist - As that term gets thrown around a lot when it doesn't apply, but very stereotypical and probably offensive to some.

To use the term "racism" you must be asserting that one race is superior to another. It would be pretty hard to accomplish that in a movie.

Some people are just trying to forget ever seeing it...

Dangerous Minds
The Blind Side

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Any blaxploitation flick. Barry Gordy's the last dragon and Black Belt Jones are my personal favorites, and are actually quite watchable movies.

Jar Jar Binks. I'm certainly not getting my panties in a knot about it but you asked

 

[QueBert]

Funny you mention How High- urban comedies continually stereotype asians, yet no one says a thing...

Probably because they stereotype everyone in them? But most often they end up stereotyping themselves way more than anyone else.

original star wars trilogy. those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down, even in a galaxy far, far away. check it: you got farm boy luke skywalker, nazi poster boy, blond hair, blue eyes. and then you got darth vader, the blackest brother in the galaxy, nubian god! now... vader, he's a spiritual brother, y'know, down with the force and all that. then skywalker gets his hands on a light saber and the boy decides he's gonna run the universe; gets a whole clan of whites together. and they go and bust up vader's hood, the death star. now what do you call that? gentrification! they gon' drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote, unquote, safe for white folks. and jedi's the most insulting installment because vader's beautiful black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty, old white man! they tryin' to tell us that deep inside we all wants to be white!
