16. Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s

He’s a good actor and it’s a great film, but Mickey Rooney’s performance as Mr. Yunioshi (Audrey Hepburn’s angry Japanese neighbor) in the iconic movie is one of the most racist portrayals in cinematic history. He’s so over-the-top with his slanty-eyed makeup, thick glasses, prosthetic mouthpiece and stereotypical over-acting, it’s an abomination to all viewers, Asian or otherwise. Cringe.
