Olympia is a classic as well, but that hardly redeems the film.

Birth of a Nation is on an entirely different level (it’s literally glorifying the KKK). Gone with the Wind is problematic in certain scenes but so is Disney’s Peter Pan (“Why is the Red Man red”).

The man reached back 80 years - to before even *he* was born - to name-check a film that is a byword for pro-Confederate nostalgia, a story that is beloved of racists and despised by many who aren't. That wasn't an accident! There have been other notable films since 1939!
