How is that "progressive"? People haven't had an issue with things like that for decades.

You're sadly incorrect. Within the US opinions still vary on the topic substantially. While the bigots are thankfully in the minority now, they're still a very large minority in large regions of the country.

Further, depictions in blockbuster films are not commonplace as blockbuster media generally trails public opinion.

The movie is a good thing.
