Hello. This page is directly copied/pasted from Ethnic stereotypes in American media. I created it because I believed this subtopic deserves its own focused page. Also, I want this new article to be able to explore racial stereotyping in all areas of public consciousness, not confined to just "media." Since it's basically a direct copy/paste it is obviously in need of extensive editing to make it an independent article, so please contribute. Thanks! --Drenched 19:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
"Portrayals of Native characters as primitive, violent and deceptive...."
I have often seen Hollywood movies, dare I say it, stereotyped in this way, although I have never seen such movies. Indians in Hollywood movies I've seen (and I've seen a lot), are almost always portrayed as wise and noble and peaceful, and only provoked into violence by the machinations of the white man.
I would be interested in learning the names of movies that portray the Indians as primitive, violent, and deceptive. Best wishes.
