Of course. I've also noticed that all movie and TV judges, FBI agents in charge and police chiefs are black.

There were black lead characters in the '70s "blacksploitation" movies but the general public would only buy so much of insolent "I'm fkn cool and have clothes and a car white cops can't afford" characters.



There are Hispanic actors who manage to play the main guy, the ethnic guy, and still play to more than their small piece of the total population (Hector Elizondo, Cheech Marin, Pepe Serna, Esai Morales).Do you notice in movies a lot of the times they have a african -american sidekick?For superhero films?



Well... most of these big characters are whites in the story. Spiderman, Superman, all those types are white so you can't really change that without pissing off the entire fanbase but in order to promote diversity you have to make some characters black.Do you notice in movies a lot of the times they have a african -american sidekick?
Minorities are usually only sidekicks to white heros.

I have yet to se a minority hero and a white sidekick.
