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.
