You can tell how bad it is when we see one black person in a bit of media and go 'woke as fuck' immediately.
This isn't an attack on this forum, I'm saying how much DEI and other such pushes have made the causal audience VERY jaded to race in media.
Hell, it's even been talked about by the critics. 15, 20 years ago, black main characters in things (where appropriate) would've been normal, unremarkable. Now because of the damn cult, the very sight of one is an instant red flag. How do you make that go away, even after the hypothetical purge of wokism?
It also doesn't help that when you cast decent black actors they misuse them in terrible writing.
Biggest example was Force Awakens, EVERYONE was looking forward to Boyega being a Stormtrooper turned into a Jedi story only for him to be badly cut down in that film for Ray to 'shine' then be a walking one for the next two films.
I would think now that you would see less masculine black men or if he is masculine then it will be revealed that he is gay. I’ve seen that trope with white make characters.
