Why the continued diversity casting with blacks?
I might understand diversity casting if it were done simply to make more money. I could understand why you might want to cast a minority simply to try and get a bigger audience. But why do they continually throw in the black or a diversity cast member? If money is the reason and they want to appeal to the greatest number of minorities then they should be throwing in a Hispanic actor when they want diversity casting... if they are just doing it because of some guilt over past discrimination then why are they not throwing in a mix of Hispanics, blacks, Asians and Native Americans with equal abandon? What drive the push to simply use blacks when they want diversity? Is it that Hollywood is showing just how racist they are in using blacks as they think they are the only actors that people will see as a minority? I just don't get it.
