What is a movie that deals with ethnic stereotypes?

[mikerickin]

I have to write a paper on a movie that has a lot of ethnic stereotypes in it. I am not a big movie person at all so nothing comes to mind.

Only movie I can't do is Undercover Brother cause we watched that in class as an example. Any other good movies with lots of examples of ethnic stereotypes? Or treating a certain ethnicity poorly?

american history x is a good one about racism..

rush hour 2 kinda has some stereotypes.. like chris tucker says to jackie that "all y'all look alike" that sort of thing...

Not Another Teen Movie touches on the token black guy in a few scenes.
"Im the token black guy! Im just supposed to stay outta the conversation, and say things like damn, shit, and that is whack!"

[,-,'-{Bar}-',-,]

do you want to blow teachers mind with this paper, or just do it.

also are you black or white ?

there is alot of films thats deal with ethnic stereo types, boys in the hood is a good one, shows the stereotype for a young black male, the wrong side, the other side of the guy trying to change and the conflict this has in lifes.

LOL a classic comedy
Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood

id say the best movie for stereotypes ever..
It makes fun of stereotypes of all races; it shows that all stereotypes can be funny.

They make fun of teenage parenthood by making Ash Tray’s father younger than he is,

They make fun of police brutality by having Bernie Mac perfectly portray a black cop who hates black people and he’s not afraid to let them know.He goes into a whole speech, “I hate your black skin. I hate black pants. I hate black pepper. I hate black keys on a piano.”

Ash Tray’s best friend, Loc Dog, is applying for a job and the interviewer is going over the application, “Well I see your hobbies include drinkin’, smoking weed, and all kinds of ill shit?”

“Now kids, what do you say to a man that mommy just met?” Kids: “Are you my daddy?”

Ashtrays Mother: Tray, I dont want you hangin out in the streets.
I want you to finish school, cause without an education the only
kind of work youre gonna get is sellin drugs, pimpin women, or
workin security for Eddie Murphy.

Ashtray: Hey, Preach, what up nigga?
Preach: Yall need to stop using the word nigga. You see, its terms
like the word nigga that the white man uses to take away the self
esteem of another race.
Ashtray: Word.
Preach: Oh yeah, remind me to pick my laundry up from that chink
motherfucker up the street.

Preach: Im just tryin to do to white girls what the white mans
been doin to us for 400 years.
Crazy Legs: Yeah, whats that?
Preach: Fuck em.

Korean Woman: [Ashtray is looking at something in store while the racist
Korean woman nervously dusts wine bottles] Hurry up and buy!

Loc Dog: How much for this candy bar?
Korean Woman: Das five dala!
Loc Dog: Five dollars? Damn! I better get some sucky-sucky with that!

Ashtray: So, will I see you again?
Ashtray's Mother: Sorry, baby: you know there ain't no positive black females in these movies.

Loc Dog: "Figured I'd get me a job at the post office, you know, maybe at a bank. You know what I'm saying."
Ashtray: "That's all good, man."
Loc Dog: "Work real hard. Work my way up to manager."
Ashtray: "We need more black people like this."
Loc Dog: "You know what I'm saying? Learn the system a little bit. Then I'll rob that motherfucker blind."



the movie might be a bit to harsh for school though lol..lots of swearing n shit
depends on the teacher though i guess, but thers defs loads of stereotypes in that movie

"Crash" is a good movie that deals with discrimination and such

[Ella]

Remember The Titans is a good one..

[yoshi]

umm..

'Tuskegee Airmen' with Laurence Fishburne, it's a story about African-American combat pilots
'The Color Of Courage' - pretty much about the racial issue in the USA
'American History X'
'Boys 'N' The Hood'

I remember I've seen more but I can't remember now

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

As a self proclaimed film expert, I can confidently tell you that Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" is the absolute end all be all in movies dealing with ethnic stereotypes.
It attacks it from all angles, meaning it shows prejudices against whites, blacks, Italians, Asians, Latinos, etc., and not just one particular race against another.
Trust me. With this film, your paper will write itself.

A serious movie that deals with racism and ethnic groups is Crash...good ass movie

[mrjizzbomber]

Crash is beautiful, although a bit pretentious. The scene where the Armenian 'shoots' the little girl is beautiful.

Malcolm X is my favorite race-relation movie.

- The Bomber

the believer

[Wic Kid]

The best movies about racism are American History X and A Time To Kill.

Damn, A Time To Kill is one hell of a movie. Everyone who likes these types of movies, should definitely check it out.

[AnalKiddo]

To kill a mockingbird? 0.0

[Yah-hah]

Dont be a menace....
