**”North” (1994) had Inuit/Eskimo racism**

Compared to “Savage Innocents” with Anthony Quinn?

Then there is a tale by Jack London in which an Eskimo is washed out to sea, returns years later, and tells his people about the outside world and they do not believe him. He also finds he cannot tolerate the rancid smells of his old village.

Years ago I saw several South African films which might “take the cake” on this nonsense.

In a similar vein, in Shogun Richard Chamberlain comes to realize his British shipmates are smelly and beneath him, and the Japanese are a cleaner, smarter, superior people.

Who cares? Depicting and comparing cultures is completely normal, until leftists screw around with it.

I can watch the Japanese depicted as noble in Shogun, evil in some WWII movie and the world keeps spinning.

The real danger would be deciding not to criticize the Imperial Japanese or the German Nazis.
