Just a look at the poster art with its captions gave me an idea that I would be in trouble when actually watching Mixed Company, but I was still unprepared for a “family movie” that turned out to be unbelievably vile and reprehensible. For once, the notoriously draconian Ontario Board of Censors made a sane decision.Keith Bailey is the proprietor of The Unknown Movies Page.

Was there a lot of blatant racism played for laughs with the Native American boy and the Vietnamese girl?
I’m not sure how much is historical fact and how much is the writers’ doing, but according to the recent Canadian series “Anne with an ‘E'”, people in Canada back in the day seemed to loathe Native Americans just on general principle alone.

From what I remember, there was more focus on the African American boy than the two other minority children. But based on the movie as it is, I am sure that a more closer look at those two other children would have been just as racist.
