Study: Biggest Hollywood films still go mostly to white men

When all actors are AI, they’ll all be black.

[mikey_hates_everything]

See “Nope”. It might change your mind about the ones you mentioned.

[V_TWIN]

Did the “study” use tv commercials as an offset? Because blacks sure as hell aren’t the minority when it comes to that.

[Reno89519]

Well, good actors trump this, but still, no surprise. African-American Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington are great exceptions, Mexican Cheech and Chong, I guess make the list. (Okay, I date myself). But give us the John Waynes, James Stewarts, Tom Cruise, and so forth any day.

[Tucker39]

Why should films be skewed toward 15% of the populace, and the other 85% ignored.

[mikelets456]

Definition of racism——making everything about race!

[Reno89519]

If you can keep the snoring down, sleep through the unwanted movie.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Not only that, but almost all TV shows make white men look dumb as toadstools.

[HockeyPop]

The greater concern and matter of import is how white male actors are portrayed. Therein lies who will be the role models of the young seedpod going forward.

[lewislynn]

Blacks should be only 13%.

By my limited observation of TV commercials I'd say there are more blacks, lgbtqxyx, mixed race, hetero and homo, marriages than there are straight white males.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Let's see what the Census Bureau itself tells us about the market for movies...

[V_TWIN]

Quentin Tarantino directed both Hateful Eight and Django......last time I checked he was a white boy.......I agree though....both unwatchable because of being so blatantly insulting to White people.

[Allegra]

It’s odd that the standard assumption is that if white men do poorly that’s something to celebrate.

Yep. The left in general has a massive inferiority complex.

[peggybac]

It’s who brings in the most money. Hollywood doesn’t care as long as their leading men bring in the $$$. If the A-listers are predominantly white, there’s a reason for it.

[Vigilanteman]

Their hero ObaMao was 50% white, 38% black and 12% Arab. Since Arabs are counted as “Caucasian”, that makes him 62% white, doesn't it?

Or maybe - and hear me out here - maybe they're the biggest Hollywood films because audiences want to see guys like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves more than they want to see black or white women in leading roles.

[Gnome1949]

Go “woke” - go broke.

Push diversity really hard in Hollywood and the film business will be destroyed.

Idiots.

[KTM rider]

this is just more evidence to support the theory that as a demographic group "BLACKS" are without a doubt THE most racist race on the planet,

AND

Blacks as a demographic group are MOST responsible for the greatest numbers and most cruel slavery in all of world history ...even today ....especially today.

A study of history recent and past will support this ...that is, until google can get history changed fully, they are stil working on it. Its not that easy to scrub, takes time

[Boogieman]

“despite considerable evidence that more diverse films attract larger audiences”

Sure, the same kind of “evidence” that they used to say that cloth masks can stop airborne viruses.

[suthener]

By the looks of my recommended movies on streaming sites I watch there is absolutely no shortage of movies with black people in them. All the streaming services apparently think I’m black for some reason, or they just recommend the same movies to everybody.
