Hollywood has a reputation for being a liberal bastion of political correctness. But as these appalling movies show, it wasn't always so. Some of them—such as 1975's Mandingo—are almost fetishistically racist.
Others are fantastic movies degraded because stereotypical characters such as Long Duk Dong from "Sixteen Candles" or Mr. Yunioshi from "Breakfast at Tiffany's."
We've compiled a list of the worst racist indiscretions made in Hollywood from the very birth of film.
And there are a lot. Warning: Some of this material may be upsetting.
21. "North" (1994) had Inuit/Eskimo racism in one ridiculous scene. In this strange and terrible film, Elijah Wood plays North, a child prodigy who "divorces" his parents and sets off on a cross country trip to find a new family. On the way he meets cowboys, Amish people and Inuits played by Kathy Bates, Graham Greene and Abe Vigoda.
The portrayal of Inuits was racist and the movie as a whole was a huge flop despite the star-studded cast and director (Rob Reiner).
20. "The Last Samurai" (2003) is a prime example of a "white savior" film. Tom Cruise plays an ex-soldier who takes a job in Japan to help suppress a Samurai rebellion. However after he is captured by the Samurai, he learns their ways and saves them from being destroyed by the Japanese army by teaching them how to properly fight using their own techniques.
19. "Fantasia" (1940) features a half-man, half-donkey centaur who is black. Sunflower-Pastoral Symphony-Racist Screenshot The "Pastoral Symphony" section of this classic Disney film used to feature a scene with a centaur named Sunflower who acts as a servant for the rest of the characters.

Hey if you’ve ever been to East St Louis, you’d know that that scene was being very kind to filth there. Chevy is lucky he wasn’t murdered.
Blah blah blah
Mandingo is HANGED for his crime, not HUNG for it. No puns or double entendres intended.
What about all the vampire movies that promote hatred of Hematophagists!
The Passion of the Christ is anti Semitic?
Jesus is Jewish.
The Romans did all the torture and execution.

Anytime uber liberal Rob Reiner says anything point out that he is a racist who makes racist movies and cite this article as the proof.
“Roll ‘em up.”
Dey said you was hung.
And dey was right!
Anyone ever seen 1962’s ‘The Intruder’ starring William Shatner? You’ll never see Shatner the same light again.
Here’s a clip.
Liberals will, of course, want to burn all these films. Every copy! But burning harms the environment.
Quite the conundrum! What, oh what, will the liberals do?
Keertana Sastry.
Sounds like a very racial name. Racists often see racism in everything.
But but but this did not make the list

Blazing Saddles is as anti-racist as it gets, by pointing out the absurdity of real racism.
Not one single blaxploitation film on the list.
No women in prison films either.
Nothing by Spike Lee.
Yes it is upsetting. The material IN THIS ARTICLE by a racist is indeed upsetting.
Meant to say: You’ll never see Shatner IN the same light again.
Hurry and get them before they’re banned; then hide them.
Has Keertana Sastry seen Blazing Saddles?
