[quote="AladdinsGenie"]And to think, of the top 100 grossing movies through 2014, this was the state of hollywood (not that too much has changed): [img]https://66.media.tumblr.com/82c38850476d467ccd9fe875220aa504/tumblr_ptthinsKOY1r4se4io1_540.png[/img] Now those two things are combined, isn't that wild? https://blog.leeandlow.com/2014/07/29/wheres-the-diversity-hollywood-sci-fi-and-fantasy-blockbusters-overwhelmingly-white-male/[/quote]
