* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer - A lot of people thought that the title of the film referred to Creator/BradPitt's character and said that it was racist because he did not look Mexican at all. "The Mexican" actually refers to the ''pistol'' that Pitt's character is trying to retrieve, and which has a long storied legend.

The Scrappy is a YMMV trope.


** These people don't seem to know that white Mexicans do exist...
* TheScrappy: Samantha. It starts with her going on a tirade about Jerry not doing what they wanted to do instead of going to Mexico even when Jerry explicitly tells her that if he doesn't does his work for Margolese, a ''Mafia kingpin'', he ''''will be killed'''. Things only get worse from there -- to the point that on one scene Jerry actually tries to crash a car ''to make her shut up'' (partially is because he's trying to scare Leroy, but he's really ''that'' sick of her tirades).

** These people don't seem to know that white Mexicans do exist...
* HeyItsThatGuy - Sure you have the obvious with Brad Pitt and Creator/JuliaRoberts, but there's also [[Series/{{Numb3rs}} Charlie Epps]] as Beck, [[Series/TheSopranos Tony Soprano]] as Leroy, [[Series/LawAndOrder Dr. Skoda]] as Ted, and many, many more.
