Well the Jews were in Hollywood making the movies : )
Yeah. That was the way the Western world was back then. Why would you expect movies to be any different than publishing, or the visual arts? Even in music and dance, where black people's contributions were more visible they were generally diminished, marginalised and ripped off. But what would you have us do it about today? Ignore the totality of half a century's cinematic production? Because pretty much every film back then had a black maid or porter step-'n'-fetchin' in the background, and female characters being leered at. If you think it's appropriate maybe there should a warning before the title: "This film contains racist and sexist content that may offend some viewers because it was made three generations ago."
