   @penryu I think that would just be a 6-minute skateboarding video.

   I was more thinking of racist depictions of Black, indigenous people, and people of colour. So, the racism occurred behind the camera, not on the screen.

     @evan Qualified No because I'm not comfortable saying "never" - I might entertain that exceptions exist. But generally, if a story is worth telling, it's worth telling as is.

     My answer leans closer to "No" the more integral to the story. An example front and center in my mind is "American History X" - remove the racism and you remove the magnitude of the character's redemption.
