But I think the standard for 'bigotry' or 'stereotyping' should be if the medium is presented in a manner that trends the viewer to muse that there is a broader 'type' of person that acts much like the character on an ethnic basis.
ie, if you watch the movie and see the bad guy as a singular character, it one thing, and it's another altogether if you see the bad guy as representing a broader type. Compare the character of Hannibal Lecter to Mookie in DtRT.

Excellent post. Yes. I agree. And I think that's usually the stance I take, and the point of view I come from. That's a large part of the reason that I don't see
An Education as a hateful film.
