I have wondered about that. In watching TV advertisements it seems the percentage of black actors is well above percent of the published population - 13% - ditto that for movies on screen and TV.
My father in law and I made the same observation on Thanksgiving when we were watching the NFL games on one of the networks. Every commercial was a minority person. Bonus points for gay minority person.
I just watched the movie The Dark Knight for the first time.
It had a bunch of GREAT actors in it:
Christian Bale (British White guy)
Michael Caine (British white guy)
Heath Ledger (dead American white guy)
Morgan Freeman(African American guy)
Cillian Murphy (Irish White guy)
Gary Oldman (British White guy)
Matthew Modine (American white guy)
Eric Roberts (American white guy)
Maggie Gyllenhaal (American White girl)
The fact is that Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and Micheal Caine are the best actors of our time.
It just happens that 3 out of 4 are British and White.
Heath Ledger stole the show in his portrayal of The Joker.
What a waste of talent. Drugs are bad.
LIFE SPAN WILL BE SHORT

The “Black TV Dad” is enough to make me vomit.
They have connections!
Her—and the blonde with the VERY infectious laugh
But they are mostly gay and/or perverts.
I watched a couple of movies for the first time in years a couple nights ago. I was taken aback how juvenile and unbelievable they were. 90% of them all the play actors did was talk and pose for the cameras...It was soap opera like. What an utter waste of my time that was.
...cuz when it’s white leftist producer money on the line, they don’t eff around!
Last movie I paid to see was 1st Harry Potter film-—1994.
LOVED the special effects.
I've never subscribed to HBO,etc...and I was last in a movie theater about 20 years ago.
So the eff what? It’s about making money and what people will pay to watch.
Tom Cruise’s movie, Top Gun: Maverick was the lifeline movie theatres needed after COVID. Unfortunately, it’s been crap since then. Saw Otto with Hanks and that sucked. No desire to see Avatar.
You bring up an interesting observation. I think it comes from the history of slavery, and more recently the memory of Jim Crow that has liberal Hollywood carrying guilt around like a millstone. They need to just let it go. Weâre a majority white nation, itâs okay to accommodate the culture of white audiences predominately.
Entertainment companies in countries across the globe accommodate their dominant culture; and more importantly, their audiences expect to see their own in commercials, movies etc. Thatâs okay. Itâs normal, people feel comfortable around folks that look and speak like themselves. It doesnât mean theyâre racists.
So, Hollywood leave your white guilt obsession at home. You donât need to constantly force feed audiences other cultures; purge your guilt on your own time.
Good
What evidence does this twat author have that diversity attracted more audiences? That sentence requires proof.
Disney is dead because of how much they sucked up to the woke crowd. Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars are racing to even lower audiences.
John Wick 4 is making way more money than estimated.
So prove it. Prove audiences want to be preached at by Mary Sues, beta males, and the LGbqrstd spaghetti alphabet.
