Director Spike Lee, who has accused Clint Eastwood of bias against African Americans, has himself been hit by claims of bias, this time against Italians. According to Bill Dal Cerro, president of the Italic Institute of
America, Lee may have his own anti-Italian racist tendencies to
worry about.

"Spike Lee is very talented, but I sometimes wish he’d practice
what he preaches," Dal Cerro said. "His points about
African-Americans are well taken, but, ironically, he does the same
thing to Italians in his films."

The Italic Institute of America has criticized Lee in the past for
his portrayal of Italian-Americans in "Do the Right Thing" and
"Jungle Fever" and has expressed worry about "Miracle at St. Anna,"
Lee’s upcoming World War II drama set in Italy.
