While going through the list of trailers the first stereotypical depiction was that of the villain in Babes in Toyland, Silas Barnaby played by Henry Kleinbach. He is very scruffy looking and appears to be stereotypical Jewish person, with a large nose, unkempt hair and beard. His all black suit and hat only adds to his menacing qualities. We even see him getting hit with a piece of wood as he walks away with a cane. The next stereotype I noticed was in Li’l Abner throughout the trailer, that women are head-over-heals for a man, even though he does not reciprocate. It makes women seem like animals running after someone they want as a mate. A third stereotype was that of Native American, which I found in It’s in the Bag and Fancy Pants. At the very beginning and end of It’s in the Bag we see an obnoxious portrayal of Native Americans. They have full head dresses and drums and are looked at as a spectacle as the other formally dressed people in the room look at them with bewilderment. In Fancy Pants Bob Hope is surrounded by a young group of what he calls “Indians” and leaves scared. They carry the typical spears and feathered garments and one even poked at
