The Fast series has never been a Diversity Inc project. It's not anti-white or anti-male. The minority casting has been a part of the series from the beginning anyway.
Someone observed that Fast makes libs squirm because the movies are the simple and dumb blockbusters they hate, but they can't say anything because of all the black, Asian, Latino etc actors involved
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.
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.
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.

None of the movies are about hip hop. They're a supercharged version of the import tuner scene from that time period.

The movie tropes have nothing to do with the casting. Anyway Dom's crew was 90% white and the actual villains were Vietnamese.

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.
