Yeah, Hollywood's history with racism isn't even much of a secret, despite how angry anti-SJWs complain about Hollywood being too SJW
It's true at least the Chinese government enforces it. Idk how much the Chinese film industry or general populace cares about it.
But as you point out, bland White male leads keep getting chances despite often failing. Other demographics should get the same opportunity.
From what I've heard from Chinese online friends, the Chinese people liked Black Panther just fine. It's really the CCP that has an issue with films of its ilk.
BP sold just fine over there.
Of course, compared to the ridiculous BO it brought in in the states it was, "low," but compared to other Marvel movies, it sold just fine.
Just like America, you can be a rather racist society and still enjoy being entertained by black people.

Then if the people don't care, what's the government's problem?
Exactly. Liking what a minority group does doesn't meaning liking that minority group. People have done that for centuries. It's why the "I have a Black friend/spouse" excuse doesn't work.
Why does the government care? The Chinese government is very controlling, to put it mildly, lol
Micheal Jai White says he got a lot of love in china. Maybe the gov over there just doesn't want black content becoming competition.
I wish they would have made an Icon film. I do not mine a Black Superman movie but I would like to see some New Superheroes honestly.

Yeah it's kinda like that scene in "Do the right thing" where the racist guy is describing how much he loves Magic Johnson "it's like he's not even black." Maybe it's that type of thing or maybe not. There definitely seems to be some type of discrepancy between the government and average ppl.

I also think racism is just different when you don't have a population of that minority in your country.
But yeah, it is that type of thing. fi you have a "use" then you aren't "black." You are an NBA player, you aren't black. You are the son-in-law... you aren't black. You are just a neighbor, you aren't. You are "one of hte good ones"
