American History X is the first one that came to mind.

Are we talking movies that openly play on stereotypes? Movies that just contain racial stereotypes? Movies that address the issue itself?

Duke's of Hazard
A Time to Kill
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Almost anything made by Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever)

Pulp Fiction

Do you remember the bruhaha over The Lion King?
The hyenas were supposed to represent "ghetto blacks", the brother of Mustafa was supposed to be a fag, and it was all downhill from there. The movie was branded as too "paternalistic", and revisionist critics had a field day with the rest of the cast and plot as well.
