“Першою афроамериканкою, якій присудили премію Американської кіноакадемії, стала Гетті Макденієл. Вона отримала цю високу винагороду за роль Маммі (дбайливої, огрядної й асексуальної протилежності Скарлетт ОʼХара, яка була ідеалом жінки) у фільмі 1939 року «Віднесені вітром». Маммі, більш віддана білій родині, ніж власній, була готова вступити в бій із чорношкірими солдатами, щоб захистити своїх білих поневолювачів. Цей образ став зручною підпорою для зображення рабства в художніх фільмах, однак це була вигадка кастової системи, що суперечила історичним фактам. В епоху рабства більшість чорношкірих жінок були худорлявими, навіть виснаженими через скупе харчування, яким їх забезпечували. До того ж мало хто з цих жінок працював у будинках, оскільки їх вважали ціннішими на полі.”
