    Casablanca

    Entire film set in Africa and not one African in it

    Tarzans

    The monkeys in The Jungle Book are borderline racist but i still ? with Jungle Book

    Not as bad as Dumbo but I won't let my son watch it off gp... although I'll probably change my mind soon because there are so few movies acceptable for toddlers...

    On another note, I nominate The Bee Movie for consideration...

    Yea its nowhere near Dumbo

    The king monkey just has a black mans voice (not sure if was actually voiced by a black man or not) and likes Jazz and dancing.

    Its mainly just that it had to be a monkey

    Dumbo was on some other ? tho

    Nope... white dude... with black voice... was an orangutan singing about wanting to walk and talk like the kid...
    That's Disney though... you can do that with most of not all their films...

    Looked it up. The orangutan name was King Louie and it was actually written for Louie Armstrong but the producer didnt want to offer it to him because he felt it would cause controversy offering a black man to voice an ape.

    They went with an Italian Jazz musician Louis Prima

    This is what I was getting at earlier. It can get to a point where blacks could lose opportunities because people are trying to avoid the appearance of racism.

    I remember watching Dumbo in elementary school and didn't think anything of it.

    What's hilarious is that whenever u bring up the blatant racism in movies around white people, their response is "White Chicks". As if lampooning rich, white valley girls is akin to portraying blacks as stupid, shiftless, and violent. America the great...

    The movie back to the future was racist.

    They put Marty in the trunk and said "I dont want any trouble from no ? smoking spooks." #DatsRacist.

    Then they tried to say that Chuck Berry, Stole "Johnny B Goode" from Marty McFly, who just stole it from Chuck Berry, when rock & roll as a whole, was stolen from Chuck Berry. Ike Turner. Little Richard.

    Kevin Smith's "Chasing Amy."

    Self explanatory. Watch this short clip.

    Lol... could you imagine? They had good intentions, I guess... maybe I'll let my son watch it knowing it could've been even more racist...

    star wars episode 3 is much more racist than episode one soley on the way mace windu gets killed. that ? was a goat lightsaber fighter and the battle sequence of his death was one of the worse battle scenes in the history of star wars. RIP Mace they ain't ? you off in goat fashion.

    What are you talking about? The battle between the Emperor and Mace was dope. There was no battle sequence for his death. He was snuck by Anakin and then double teamed by the Emperor. So basically the Sith Master and the Chosen One had to pull some foul ? to take Mace out. That's not a bad look for him.

    In fact, I'm noticing a pattern with Nolan films... remember the beginning of Inception? And the revolving room scene?

    Ok, let me go deep with this racism thread.

    In the movie "Guess who's coming to dinner," Sidney Poitier was a doctor. They never said what the white girl was. Did it matter? Did he HAVE to be a doctor to even catch her eye? What caught his eye? rhetorical.

    The answer to your question is "Yes." At that time, he pretty much had to be a doctor for that story to have any reasonable traction to the public.
