From the article:
“Nobody was ready to sink that kind of money into a Black female action star.”
The first black female action star was Pam Grier in 1973. Maybe the studio didn’t think HALLE BERRY rated an 80 million dollar budget movie, but, no, it must be about race. And by the way, two years after the Bond movie she starred in “Cat Women” which, according to IMBD, had an estimated 100 million dollar budget. But racism.

Yes. And I think she was in one of the “Bill and Ted” movies - nice-looking lady
Put your racism card back in the deck, cupcake. It's "female" action stars, period ... because action stars is a male domain. Sorry if you don't understand that. I have no interest in seeing women pretending to be as tough and bad ass like men - fighting, kicking, dominating. It's fake and stupid.
