Have you noticed any new trends among stereotyped characters in movies? You know, where a particular ethnic group or nationality seems to be portrayed in a certain role disproportionately?

American Indians went through a stretch where they were the conscience of society, Germans were the scientists, and Ethnic Hawaiians were all happy go lucky.

So what have you seen recently?
