Okay, so admittedly, Hollywood movies have the ability/inclination to skew our visions of different ethnic groups. For years after seeing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I was convinced that all Germans swam in giant rivers of cocoa. After living here, I can confirm that it’s not true at all. Giant rivers of Pilsner are a different story. However, a group that’s definitely been given the cartoon treatment is African men. These young gentlemen have made a very funny video to challenge the stereotype that Hollywood has created:

Normally I’d be selling you on how an ancient movie is still enjoyable today or that a modern audience can still be moved by pictures made over half a century ago, but I’m not so sure Song of the South really deserves all that much praise for its own artistic merit.

Screenwriters of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen were not happy about the way two characters were presented within the film.

Could the groups boycotting Tropic Thunder be right?
