If it wasn’t for the bartender


There would be no black people in this movie.

The definition of “token black guy”.

EDIT: the mortician is black too.
Lady who tells him that the homeless man is dead is black.

Ok.

I don't care.

Why would anybody think like you do?

Do all the people in Africa micro analyze films made in Africa to see how many whites or Chinese are in them?

Is that what this multicultural experiment has devolved to in the USA? Ethnic groups endlessly bitching about every little thing and taking a race quota of films?

Who gives a shit.

Three Black people in Punxsutawney sounds about right to me.
What's the problem?

To be fair, it does take place in a predominantly white town.

Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania:
White: 97.13%
Asian: 1.24%
Black or African American: 0.78%
Other race: 0.57%
Two or more races: 0.28%
Native American: 0.00%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.00%
