Paok, 
There's nothing wrong with the poll itself, but the wording is a little strange.
It's impossible to have a "favorite" movie of racism, xD
Maybe change it to, "Which do you think dealt with the issue of racism most competently?"

How is "Precious" about racism? Who is the racist character? Who else is racist in "Boyz n thz Hood" or "Lawrence of Arabia"?

Thanks but I think you should be careful because many of these movies are good examples of violence or prejudicial behaviour existing within the same ethnic community... yes, there is racism in "The Color Purple" but the story also examines the mysoginy that poisoned the lives of many Black women. In fact it's more a feminist than an anti-racist film.

And I think "racism" is too broad a subject and such an important topic in the history of cinema (especially American cinema) that you are likely to omit many good movies... while including the ones where there is a conflict between different communities but not necessarily with racism as the central theme.

Hi, Paok. :D

Did you consider Amistad?

It was a real life trial, that actual happened and gave the starting signal for abolition of slavery in USA.
