I’m actually a Spike Lee fan, but look at his portrayal of Jews, Italians and other non-black groups: Loud, obnoxious Italians in Do the Right Thing; violent, racist Italians in Jungle Fever; greedy, money-hungry Jews in Mo Better Blues.
I could go on, but you get the picture. I agree with you on The Alamo, but as for Pocahontas, I feel it was a children’s movie, and reality isn’t that huge an issue. You want they should show vicious white troops scalping Injuns or passing them pox-ridden blankets? How about a forced death march or two? That’s great family fun.
