I think you've seen this one too many times. Sometimes, lines are deliberately delivered because the viewers may not understand what was said because it's not part of normal daily life.
For instance, in the movie Airplane!, when asked if she would like some reading material, the old lady asked for "something l i g h t" to make sure the audience heard it otherwise the tiny leaflet of Greatest Jewish Athletes wouldn't have been funny.
In any case, here's a link to the oxygen tank request:

I've seen this move 50 times and never thought the line was overly exaggerated - until now. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it I guess.
Not full, no. But there are a few. There's one in particular who is an unabashed white supremacist but I honestly can't recall his name (I'm sure someone knows to whom I'm referring).
But then, it comes down to what your definition of racist is. The guy I was talking about says right out loud that we are inferior to whites (kudos to him at least for not attempting to hide his racist views behind veiled statements). That is a racist statement, but if someone says we should get over the whole slavery reparation deal, that's not a racist statement.
I hadn't seen the Cruise reboot as the trailer didn't interest me at all. Reading the wiki on it was surprising. Even though I believed the film wasn't *my* speed, I was unaware of how universally reviled the reboot was/is.

Yeah, but they can *always* bring back a dead character in movies - maybe since Beni was consumed by those thousands of years old magical Egyptian scarabs, he could be resurrected by the Mummy with just some mumbo jumbo from the Book of the Dead (Beni being of some help to Imhotep).
Nope. Sorry.. LOL
You said Mt. Airy still has racial problems today. [b]I asked for examples.[/b] You've provided historical references which pretty much answered my question I suppose..
I've been through the South in the last few years and I have never seen anything that resembles racism. I live in the Northeast U.S. in a decidedly red town in a very blue state. Our "minority" is less than 4 percent, but despite my town being mostly white middle class, this is the best place I've lived in my 66 years.
I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and would review any citation fairly, but at the same time, I don't know what his definition of racism actually is. When everything is racist, nothing is.
[quote],. Mount Airy where there are still racial problems today.[/quote]
Examples?
Just say you've never shot a gun or been near one when one was fired...
And I know I shouldn't answer your desperate, obvious, and grasps for attention, but the cop SAW with his own eyes the dog on the leash and the carcass on the road. The cop doesn't have a Star Trek transporter (which you've already told us doesn't make sense), so when the cop saw the dog behind the Wagon Queen Family Truckster, he couldn't magically materialize directly behind Clark to pull him over.
Sigh..
