>> I'm sure a huge amount of American material depicting the English or French would be considered racist if that standard were applied > I think what you are missing here is that there is no history in the US of genocide against people of English or French descent. I'm not missing that, and I'm well aware that kind of logic is used to justify the different standards. However, those justifications aren't terribly relevant to what I was describing, which was the standards themselves and their results. As an aside, that justification isn't terribly satisfying, and has some pretty significant rough edges/internal contradictions (e.g. implying that racist/stereotyped depictions are OK so long as there's "no history in the US of genocide against" against the stereotyped group).
