The scene itself starts with stark as ironman attacking a village in like manner removing a man out of a building and hands him to the people that he had wronged. This implies that ironman as a good person but is he authentically good person. They portray him as a good person in the interest that he is a billionaire American who is appearing to eliminate the leaders of middle eastern decent, but they are clearly stereotyped as terrorists so they had machine guns’ missiles and dressed as traditional Muslims. The movie generalizes that all middle easterners and Muslims are terrorists there is no distinctive difference as long as you are an American. Later in the scene when the aerial battle happens, they US military purposely tries to destroy ironman due to the fact that they didn’t perceive what he was they thought he was a foreign entity from the middle east. They even run one of their airplanes into iron man and he falls out of the sky and his action causes an airplane to lose a wing and almost kill the pilot. this creates a great distraction from the racism that was implied before all the action occurred was this scene purposely meant to be racist towards middle easterners or worse, it is just a part of the narrative to draw emotional support for iron man.
