good example of Peter Jackson racism is king kong and his portrayal of the people of the fallen civilization on skull island.
there's no magic or supernatural stuff involved. it's just pure "dark skinned removed savages" that are portrayed as basically demons to be put down violently by a german guy with machineguns
i remember reading they hired maori and actually sprayed them with black paint to make them even darker. also red contacts for extra evilness.
really gross stuff.
a long time ago i actually liked that movie despite it's length because the insect scene was deeply disturbing in a good way and i liked the monster ecosystem of the island. obviously no longer
I was about to add that it was especially egregious for Peter Jackson, a NZ filmmaker who made a big deal about how much he respected Maoris and Maori culture during the making of LOTR and the Hobbit

I remember seeing Peter Jackson's King Kong for the first time a while back and the way the natives were depicted had my jaw hanging open
