I was really put off by Breakfast at Tiffany's, and that was the worst part.

A Christmas Story (a movie I love) has the scene in the Chinese restaurant with the waiters who can't pronounce the L sound.

And Lady and the Tramp has the wicked Siamese cats.

I haven't seen Sixteen Candles but recall having read something about its offensive stereotypes.
