I wonder what they say for Short Circuit
Isn't it Short Circuit 2 which has the double combo breaker of a white actor doing both blackface and a Pakistani accent at the same time?
I can't think of anything in Aliens though. There's some inappropriate banter from some of the marines, but that seems rather thematic to the characters - so I don't really consider that a problem personally. Unless it's the blatant xenophobia shown towards the Aliens?

VIDEO
I assume they mean this scene. That was an in joke for the cast, the actress showed up to the audition dressed as an illegal immigrant thinking that was what the movie was about.

That character (Ben) is in both films.

One of the most egregious examples I can think of off the top of my head is Mickey Rooney's role in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Eep.

Looks like there's been a major stabbing attack after a BLM protest just down the road from me in Reading.....

After initially saying it wasn't, they're now declaring it a terrorist incident.
