the 50 most racist movies (you didn't think were racist)


Complex is generally a pretty awful magazine, and not really known for its sensitivity. That's why this list they've put together, The 50 Most Racist Movies (You Didn't Think Were Racist) is really surprising... and totally spot-on.

It's pretty damn comprehensive, with all the films we love to hate around here, including 45. You Only Live Twice, 32. Dragonball Evolution, 26. The Last Samurai, 5. Sixteen Candles, and my personal favorite, 8. Every Rob Schneider Movie.

And to what film does Complex bestow the honor of the number 1 Most Racist Movie? None other than Breakfast at Tiffany's, citing Mickey Rooney's inexplicable yellowface as the bucktoothed Mr. Yunioshi. Complex, we agree -- that's racist! (Thanks, Jason.)
