Depictions in Hollywood Shuffle

Much like the racial depictions shown in Spike Lee's film Bamboozled, Robert Townsend's film Hollywood Shuffle showed much of the same depictions. Townsend's film shows how black people are portrayed in Hollywood showing how they are supposed to be rappers, dancers, gangsters, pimps, athletes, etc...in Hollywood films. Lee's film showed how people react to black people's action whenever they are told to act stupid compared to just acting sophisticated.

Check a clip from the movie!
