Do the Right Thing (1989) — “Racist Stereotypes”
“It’s cinematically perfect and shows how high racial tension in the area is outside of just Black vs. White. It’s aged so beautifully, it’s still relevant today, and I love Samuel L. Jackson’s interjection as he wheels right up to the camera and shouts, ‘Hold up! Time out! Y’all, take a chill! You need to cool that shit out, and that’s the double truth,’ before the scene cuts out.”

#6 "the Nazis started singing their anthem" is not quite correct.
Die Wacht am Rhein, which would have definitely been offensive to any present French, was at most an inofficial anthem. The official national anthem since 1922 was Das Lied der Deutschen, since 1933 reduced to the first stanza (which might have been just as offensive to the French), after 1940 followed by the Horst-Wessel-Lied. The latter was stricken in 1945, the current version of the Deutschlandlied (third stanza) was made the national anthem in 1952 and 1990.
As for "the Nazis" (in contrast to: the Germans) – the NSDAP used the Horst-Wessel-Lied as a party hymn, not Die Wacht am Rhein.
You're welcome. ;)
