What's your point? He didn't say there were no black people in movies, just that other races were woefully underrepresented.
Dwayne McDuffie had a good take on blacks in comics and how white audiences react to having black characters in comics and entertainment.

I don't get sick of it as it's become so normalized. It doesn't bother me as much as it should, but Asians are easily the most under and misrepresented in Hollywood. People give shit to guys like spike lee for having race being a big issue with him. But if Asians had a spike lee and a movement like blacks do they'd probably be in the limelight a whole lot more. I'd like minorities to star in more movies that aren't taylored to just that group. I don't fuck with madea films, I like seeing actors of all races in legitimately good films.

The biggest thing I've noticed is the lack of Asian singers in popular American music. A lot of the major stars in Asia are extremely talented. That Japanese artist who sung the second ending to FMA: Brotherhood had a Youtube video where she sung "Oh Happy Day" in a black church. Girl had some serious pipes.

Why would a black Bond care for the Queen? black people in England really care about the Queen?

Cause I think I would snicker in the theater if I heard a black Bond say with a straight face for the Queen!

Nay on chitterlings.

Damn. You need to, at least, have some ribs.

Yeeeesss!

And to Enzom... you messed me up. I have been so far out of the loop. Dwayne McDuffie died??? I am sure you all already went over this but this is news to me. WTF... So sad now. There goes any chances of a JL movie finalizing a GL/Hawkgirl wedding...

...how?

I can understand 1-2, but all four is damn near impossible.

Chitlins? Nay.

Now, Catfish? We're in business.
