Jen0125 02/21/18 12:29:20 PM #27:	wwinterj25 posted... Oh. So it's a race thing? Huh. i feel like it's pretty obvious. if you think about it, black people don't have a ton of movies where they are the predominant race of the cast unless it's those tyler perry movies or those wayans brothers satire movies. they've NEVER had a movie with a superhero where the superhero was black and so was most of the cast. other races are so underrepresented in american produced movies so when a different race makes up the majority of the cast that race tends to go see that movie in larger numbers even if they aren't usually the target audience due to other demographics or interests. --- http://i.imgur.com/4ihiyS2.jpg "I am not gay!
