It was a Diversity Inc. project from day one. The first movies tapped into the urban street culture that was so popular at the time. Hip hop was the dominant music force and the movie industry was all too eager to tap into this craze, having worked towards popularizing it for the last decade.
None of the movies are about hip hop. They're a supercharged version of the import tuner scene from that time period.
The theme of the first movie was also predictable. He was sent to infiltrate this gang of criminal street racers, falling in love with the sister. Eventually he's torn between his duty as an officer and his love interests, plus his loyalty/friendship to the rest. But this time around, the 'lovable street urchins' were portrayed a little bit too favorable. Compare that to 'Point Break' (1991), which Fast and Furious was aping. They weren't portrayed as favorable here, certainly not to the extent in this one.
The movie tropes have nothing to do with the casting. Anyway Dom's crew was 90% white and the actual villains were Vietnamese.
Fast and Furious also Michelle Rodriguez, the ethnic go-to-girl for 'women acting like men', the template for much what would follow in shitty Hollywoke.
Tuff girl characters are one thing, girlbosses are another. They're completely different.
Michelle Rodriguez was 'the girl that could beat you up' actress, even though she didn't have the physical strength, stature, weight or training, just the attitude.
Dom's crew wasn't exactly '90% white'. They had 'Hispanic sounding names' and they soon expanded it with 'rappers turned actors' to better appeal to the street audience.
And the movies were about street life. Urban street life, with an emphasis on illegal street racing.

Yes, exactly, it's the attitude. Tomboys can be hot. Michelle never beat anyone up in F&F.

Dom's crew from the first movie since that's what you mentioned:
Dominic Torretto - white, Italian
Letty Ortiz - Hispanic
Jordana Brewster - white
Jesse - white
Leon - white
Vince - white

No, just the illegal street racing and a souped up version of the car show scene. Sorry but on this subject, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

Torretto isn't a common Italian name. It's also found in Spain and it's mostly found in South America.
So let's recap:
Dominic Toretto
Mia Toretto
Leon (Italian looking guy)
Letty Ortiz - Hispanic
Vince < white guy who betrayed the team
Brian O'connor < white guy sent to infiltrate and betray the team/'family'
Jesse < white guy, timid, weak
I see a pattern here.
Then the franchise gets 'enriched' with rappers-turned-actor and other Hollywoke-obsessed ethnic casting choices.
His brother in Fast 9 and 10 is literally played by John Cena who gets called "Potato Salad" as a nickname for being that bland.
This is severely autistic, the only question is whether you realize it
Spaniards are white btw
So...?
No, he didn't.
So?? It's a movie
So white characters have to be strong or something?
