If their movies from that era weren’t a good enough insight…

John Wayne was a racist sexist POS and it shows in all his Westers . Most mobster movies objectified a specific group as less than… while glorified another… even though their actions were just as messed up.

women and people of color were on the bottom barrel of being treated decently in these movies… How many scenes are there of men slapping a woman and then passionately kissing her as she hits him and it does nothing to him… it was a popular trope…

But I am sure those were only movies and not indicative of how white men actually viewed life. Its not like they were trying to capture an audience in relevancy
