Best film is Lawrence of Arabia, but if we talk about racism then 12 Years a Slave

I think "expound" is probably not the best word to use as it can sometimes mean defend. I suggest "illustrate." I'd also avoid "have racial overtones" and suggest something like:
Which of these movies that have won an Academy Award for Best Picture and illustrate racism or take up race relations in some way is your favorite?
OR
Which of these movies that have won an Academy Award for Best Picture and illustrate racism or anti-semitism, or take up race relations in some way, is your favorite?

Paok, they may contain racism at some point of the plot, but since racism is not the main theme of the films, perhaps it would be better to keep war films like Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, Bridge on River Kwai and Patton out of the list so they don't distract from films that actually deal with discrimination.
