Wow not one black person in their town


Not even at the school. Usually movies like this always have one token black guy in the group or at the dance.

I idea of adding black, Latino, etc... characters for the sake of diversity wasn't widely considered in the '80s. Most black characters appeared in movies set in an urban environment, comedies, or historical films about the Civil War or similar themes.
