It is natural for popular rankings to be higher due to the influx of art house, international and straight to video releases. Popular rankings are taken from IMDb and are fluid. Most box office data is taken from The Numbers website (domestic).

Whenever one need proof that we live in a White Supremacist society, all they need to do lis look at Denzel Washington's career. Dude's one of the most talented actors of the 20th and 21st Centuries, yet he's been kept out of mainstream Hollywood since the beginning of his career. Were he a white man, he would've won multiple Oscars by now, and been a multi-millionaire several times over

Sidney Poitier is a actor I neglected to make a card for and probably the best counterargument to your post.

👍Thank you, I will complete his card after the updates.
