..and if Kong is supposed to represent everything supposedly bad about blacks, the director did a bad job. Much more so than in the 1933 version, Kong is pretty much the only individual with any value in the whole movie other than Anne. He only goes wild and attacks others when first threatened and goes out of his way to save Anne's life, over and over.

That people have associated blacks with apes as a racial slur is terrible. There is nothing about this movie, however, that tries to perpetuate any racist subtext.
