> RACIAL STIGMA ON THE HOLLYWOOD SCREEN FROM WWII TO THE PRESENT charts
> how the dominant white and black binary of American racial discourse
> influences Hollywood's representation of the Asian. The Orientalist
> buddy film draws a scenario in which two buddies, one white and one
> black, transcend an initial hatred for one another by joining forces
> against a foreign Asian menace. Through an analysis of films from
> multiple genres, Brian Locke argues that this triangulated rendering
> of race ameliorates the longstanding historical contradiction between
> U.S. democratic ideals and white America's persistent domination over
> blacks.
