Excellent meme highlighting how uncreative Hollywood has become. Can't even get out of racist tropes by creating a third character. Classic Hollywood
Hollywood tried that in the 90s and early 2000s. Result?
*pink hair girl*: "that's racist, why is there only one black character in the movie, and why does he die 50 minutes before everyone else?"
When Hollywood fixed that, starting the mid-2000s, the complaint turned into "that's racist, why are blacks only ever allowed to be the sidekick or the jock?"
Funnily enough, when movies with black leads were fashionable during the 70s, the same crowd complained about "blackploitation" and "the racist depiction of blacks as stereotypical thugs and savages".
