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.
Car culture has always been a fusion of Japanese, Hispanic and inner city culture. It comes from a time when the concept of "racism" barley existed.
Also Tyrese Gibson and Vin Diesel are friends IRL.
Tell me you aren't a car guy without telling me you aren't a car guy.
Go to any car show that isn't a pop up meet and it is going to be an army of Corvettes and Porsche 911s, the rest being classic American muscle, old British roadsters, some ancient Studebakers, maybe some Italian exotics, and then a few quirky cars/trucks that don't fit in with the rest.
There are almost never any Japanese cars or riced out low riders with 60 degree camber. If there are any Japanese cars they are almost always going to be an NSX, an RX7, or a Supra, and they won't be in large numbers like the pop up meets where all the tuners show up.
