6. There's a rumor to that effect.

But doubt has been cast on its accuracy: https://vanguardofhollywood.com/was-jimmy-stewart-racist/

The above article explains why the sources of this rumor need to be taken with a large grain of salt and also gives quite a bit of evidence that Stewart was not racist. After reading it, I am convinced that the rumor is based on very shaky ground at best.

In other words, based on the information in this article, I don't believe the rumor is true, but others are welcome to look at the evidence and draw their own conclusions.
