Which werewolf movie from the 80s is this?

It looked like it was from the 80s and I think the creature was a werewolf, but basically it was on the TV when hanging out with my friends and a guy who I think was a doctor in a morgue or lab, or something like that, said something about how the werewolves evolved from Native Americans, and that they share the Native American's savagery... and my friends laughed cause they thought it was a racist thing to say.

But I wanted to see rest of the movie. Does anyone know which movie this is, if it sounds familiar?

Wolfen?

It likes like it very well could be Wolfen, I will have to watch the movie and look out for that scene. Thanks

I think Mark got it. But it might also be one of The Howling movies.
