Complex's 50 Racist Movies (You didn't know were racist)

Complex released it's crop of 50 most racist movies.  Sprinkled throughout the list are some of the most famous and popular movies of all time.  Makes you stop and think what you might not have stopped and thought about before.
 
 #1. Breakfast at Tiffany's

"In the history of inexplicable Hollywood racism, Breakfast at Tiffany’s takes the motherfuckin’ rice cake. Nobody would've noticed had director Blake Edwards removed the random, inconsequential character of Mr. Yunioshi, gold digging Holly Golightly’s bumbling, annoying Japanese neighbor, but there he is, sticking out like the two-inch buckteeth Mickey Rooney in yellowface sports to complete his look and ensure that the movie, like his portrayal, is ah-so disrespectfur."
