So you guys have no grasp of the difference between comedy and an something just intended to demean..
The left has some problems in this regard but I think the right are winning in the not quite real boys department
What I see in US cinema is a strong tenancy towards stereotyping. Whether it is perceived as art or just rubbish then depends on who is playing the role. There is a bit of death by 1000 cuts for Latinos (gardeners, maids, car thiefs) and blacks.. Always die first etc. Its not that many individual roles are too bad, just the sheer amount of stereotypical roles that is notable.

This must mean that ST:TNG is racist, because they hired a black man who once played a role as a slave.*

Or they took a chance on a young slave and made him an engineer....progress!

I recall his very long running series "Reading Rainbow" was cancelled due to Bush's "no child left behind" policy (also the policy of American colony slave traders).
