Are niggers ever shown acting niggardly in movies any more?
The other night, I watched The Brave One, a film from the early 2000s, and there's a scene where Jodie Foster gets harassed and threatened by some lunchtime rowdies on the subway.

And it made me remember a similar scene, in Joker, a more recent movie, where the people behaving in a bullying thuggish way on the subway were... White Wall Street guys.

Which wouldn't make any sense, because white guys who work on Wall Street probably wouldn't use the subway, because they can afford not to. Furthermore, nobody avoids the subway because of aggressive white Wall Street guys.
The movie tries to justify it, I guess, because it tries to tie it into Joker's 'class war' angle, but it seems a really strange scene in hindsight, especially when compared to the scene in The Brave One. It's weird seeing white guys in suits in that setting behaving like that, and I can't unsee it now.
And it got me thinking... I don't think I've seen black people portrayed like that in many films made recently. It feels like a conversation was had at some point and for some reason that just stopped and now all of the badly behaved, threatening, bullying people you see in movies are white.
I don't know. Perhaps I don't watch enough movies?
