Traditional
Primary
The film's central subject matter, explicitly detailing an act of racial violence and dehumanization, is inherently anti-progressive. Lacking any narrative context to suggest critique, the film is interpreted as normalizing or promoting this act, thus aligning with a 'Clearly Right' bias through its rejection of racial equality and promotion of racial hierarchy.
The movie's title and historical context suggest a depiction that aligns with traditional societal norms and power structures of its era. Its representation does not reflect modern diversity initiatives, and its narrative does not critique traditional identities from a DEI perspective.
