And if so, what would you do to stop it?
Today, a news report came out stating that "Western movies from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Aladdin" promote negative stereotypes of Muslims by casting them all too often as villains".
No doubt, you've read about how other religious and ethnic groups made similar complaints.
So would you censor ALL movies, or do you support creative freedom of expression, even if you don't agree with the message?

You raise a good question. But is this life imitating art or art imitating life? Where do movie makers get their ideas? I don't think we'll ever get an answer to this question.

To the politically correct, life promotes negative stereotypes. Movies are just a reflection of society.
