So the "material girl" is just a sterotype? Yeah, right…
Glaring omission, Deputy Dumb@$$. The incompetent law enforcement or security officer in, usually horror movies.
The gloomy shy and clumsy "unattractive" girl whom the handsome man falls in love with.And the shy and attractive friend who always get's forgotten or ignored.
10:39 R.I.P. Alan Rickman
Except the "ethnic terrorists" in Die Hard weren't actually terrorists. That's a major plot point in the movie.
One that I hate a lot is the tattooed and pierced woman that's trashy, slutty and crazy ans only wants attention from men. :/
How about the brilliant minority actor who can't get an Oscar nomination?
I don't get it
why aren't blacks in here
they are the most vulnerable when it comes to stereotypes
the black guy dying in horror movie
Only roles for black people: Drug Dealer, Comic Relief, Hoodlums, Slaves and historical figures
stereotypes have some truth to them.
Honestly that Asian from Kill Bill is hilariously stereotypical.
Young "rebel" is always with goth or punk outlook.
Sexually liberal types always are into S&M.
Rock musician looking always like some Iron Maiden member and heavily drinking, smoking, swearing and womanizing.
Nerdy boy is always computer freak or genius.
All artists are painters.
For some reason the horror movies I watch the black dude doesn't die
At least Asians still have amazing karate movies. But those are stereotypical too lol.
Yes, I agree with you Mojo, all these stereotypes are true.
Why was black men as drug dealers and thugs not included in this? Not even honorable mention?
Dude. Does anybody know ANY convenience store employees who are NOT immigrants?
And what you say here (9:43), "Terrorists in most Hollywood productions are not American," yeah. That's because most terrorists in THE WORLD are not American! (And yes, I know the KKK is an American terrorist organization, but they're fucking infinitesimal on the scale of world terrorist threats.) And OF COURSE the heroes who save the day are going to be from the country the terrorists want to attack. And if that's America, then what do you think the heroes nationality is going to be?
One stereotype is the muscular bully and muscular hero
Goodfellas was the mist pointless movie I've seen
Do you know why most terrorists in movies aren't American? Its because 99% of terrorists are fucking muslim!
All stereotypes are based on a common trait of a specific people. It's not racism.
you forgot the shy and not so beautiful girl who always survives horror movies
My God! This video is so PC it hurts!
Im doing this for a school assignment lol
"Like Indians, Asians in films have only a handful of roles"
Beautiful
the funny Black/Asian sidekick
lol but those are mostly true
Where are all the black stereotypes… that should be a whole video in itself
Sexy Foreigners.
Aww I'm a foreigner I wish I was sexy ;-;
The football playing dumb college kid who is with the love of the main character at the beginning, because the girl somehow likes bad guys at the beginning, oh nooo 🙁
Where are all of the black stereotypes? The angry black woman should top this list.
4:34 "…for whatever reason" LOL! Have you ever been inside a mini mart??
Surprisingly good!
They are using 90's and down clichés…
What about the boring Dilian dude? That is in 95% of movies. Especially teen movies for girls.
You people should realise that Indians are also Asians, so use a different term to differentiate
That's my trope- the female lightweight..
more sjw garbage bla bla bla
Hmmm.. "Die Hard" seems a little out of place as an example of the Ethnic Terrorist stereotype. "What kind of terrorist are you?" "Who said we were terrorists?"
really? foreign terrorist? really? u dont say
Fat bumbling sidekick that's extremely funny.
