Well, if you're into 'politically incorrect' movies, virtually anything before 1980 will fit the bill. You could start with Birth of Nation which celebrates the KKK. Then move on to the Jazz Singer which prominently features black face. Breakfast at Tiffany's is famous for Mickey Rooney's 'ching chong' routine. There's really no shortage.

I am guessing they are asking for more Russian media... weird to focus on the political correctness part.

You're probably right. It's 'political incorrectness' as a selling-point that irritates me. I don't know if that's weird, probably not worth debating

Mickey. Mickey Rooney. Who when he was younger did a lot of movies as a character named "Andy Hardy."

Andy Rooney "played" a curmudgeon on 60 Minutes.
