Line 23:
* Sharif from ''[[Menace II Society]]'', though he's not depicted badly so much as he is just disregarded by his troubled criminal friends. Although there's a lot of cynicism that can be picked up from the way the character is written, especially how other characters treat him (even his dad!).
* Subverted in ''[[Chasing Amy]]'' by Hooper X, a comic book artist character who used this trope, playing a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|proud Nubian]] and [[Strawman Political]] when promoting his comic book; but was in fact a [[Camp Gay|flamboyant homosexual]].
* A straight example from ''[[Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back]]'' is the film director,... though he ''is'' played by [[Chris Rock]], [[Actor Allusion|who has spent his career lampooning these kinds of characters]].
* The Mau Mau gang from [[Spike Lee|Spike Lee's]] ''[[Bamboozled]]''. They fit the "hypocrisy" aspect of this character. The Mau Maus angrily denounce the [[Blackface]] entertainers with "Painted faces, disgrace to the races!" - but they are, in their own way, [[You Are What You Hate|just as buffoonish as what they condemn]]. And they're even more hypocritical when they execute one of the show's performers while wearing some of the "Mantan" Halloween masks they so despise (which makes them [[Dirty Coward]]s as well).
* Buggin' Out from ''[[Do the Right Thing]]''. Many of the other characters are angry about race issues as well, which is kinda the point of the movie.
