The Blindside seemed racist to me, how every black person was portrayed as braindead or a criminal.

Flight 93 i thought was incredibly racist towards muslims, stereotypical and just a awful film.

    Hmm, I believe it about blindside. I heard they even changed the story around to make the Sandra Bullock character more of a guiding figure than she really was and to make the football player more of a ? than he really was... I never saw the flick tho.

    What about transformers 2 with the black robots that couldn't read, lol

    And of course the funniest movie about race is Gran Torino... not racist imo, but hilarious and must be mentioned in any convo about race/film.

    The Japanese have some ? up portrayals of Blacks, just look at the"Street Fighter Series."
    In one of the game guides for Super Street Fighter 4, Blarog's (the Mike Tyson rip-off) bio states that he likes "Women and bourbon" but dislikes "fish, math, and hard work."

    And the KKK actually copied their uniforms from the Moors who settled in Seville Spain.

    But this film, "Showdown in Little Tokyo" with Brandon Lee and Dolph Lundgren

    SMH.

    Brandon didn't even try to compete with Dolph for Tia Carrere, just compliment him on his ? size????
    And Dolph just goes around ? up Asian men left and right.

    I didn't pay much attention to this when I was lil'ler, but now knowing how Hollyweird likes to portray people of color, SMH.

    WOW thats crazy @ capirotes!!

    Yea Balrog, despite his popularity, has always been the running racist joke of Street Fighter. Even T-Hawk to the degree!! And these are the things that we are passive of all the time.

    I watched both....Precious was very deliberate racist and sexist, and I mean scene for scene!!
    I haven't seen a movie attack Black Women so bad, especially those who are heavy set!

    Yeah, that entire movie from start to finish was disgusting. I still don't understand why people loved it so much. Movies where Black people are shown in a bad light, usually do great. And that's ? up.

    The ending to La Horde....saw it yesterday and it ? me off.

    Super 8 - that uncle tom(from The Wood) who was doing all the ? work for that white colonel with no remorse. Killed the black professor, then got himself killed for following orders. And when the mother says"this is not Africa" to the daughter for dressing too skimpy.

    2nd episode in Walking dead series

    That scene is ? as hell and sterotypical... but as for Dolph beating up Asian Dudes... Dolph does hold several black belts in different martial discplines though...

    And these movies do in a certain way keep Black people in a inferior mindstate...displaying hopelessness and negligence and need a white influence to save them. Smh!! Keeping us in a submissive state while their families are well educated and aware of the system that is going on!
