There is a difference between overt racism and unintended racism. It all depends on the time period, general audience perspective, etc. When these 4 films came out, Mass Media basically didn't exist. Certainly not like it does today. Given that, it was difficult to gauge how different regions of the country (and world) would react to things. There are a lot of films out there which were labeled racist, without that being the intent of the writer/producer/director.
