The scene where Wyatt kicks out the drunk indian reflects stereotypes and racism towards Indians during the time period. As far as history about the times goes this scene seems unusual because as racist as people were towards Indians at that time period it seems more likely that the people would have ganged up and killed the Indian and it seems unusual that there was even an Indian in the town in the first place. - Jonathan Bell | The scene where Wyatt kicks out the drunk indian reflects stereotypes and racism towards Indians during the time period.

Dr. McClurken mentioned in class that Gone With the Wind was unusual in that it featured African-American actors instead of white actors in blackface. That being said, I wasn't at all surprised to see an Anglo-American with dark hair playing a Hispanic woman in My Darling Clementine. - Sarah Richardson | ||
