Diverity In Movies

Is diversity in movies really that important?
Would the Harry Potter franchise have been better if Hermione were black for instance?

No.

>Is diversity in movies really that important?
1. Diversity is important because representation matters.
2. Representation matters because people identify with characters who share the same race as them.
3. America is a majority white country.
4. Therefore, characters should be white so the most people can identify with them.
oops

>3. America is a majority white country.
Three out of four ain't bad.

Mostly this.

Except America is barely a white majority. And it's only a white majority due to baby boomers.

With younger people, the ones often the target audience of most movies the demographics are going to be majority non-white.

Also factor in a global audience of which white people make up less than 10% of.

Therefore movies should be majority non-white.

No, because the Harry Potter films having prime fuckbait as the main girl was a significant part of its widespread popularity, even for the books. You can't underestimate how big a deal she used to be.

It would have been less successful without her. It would still have been huge, but it'd take a hit.

Great thread and yes I believe it would have been better if Hermione was black. It would have strengthened the themes of her being persecuted for who she is. I don't think movies in general has to be diverse, but sometimes it makes sense like in the case of the Harry Potter books/movies.

she would've dropped out in the fourth year due to being pregnant, then Harry would've died in the Triwizard Tournament

So yes, being black matters

People would still have loved the books/movies and it would have a much stronger appeal to black women and progressive white women. There're already lots of white women in Harry Potter.

Then where are all the sexy Latina bitches in movies. Aren’t there more of them than black people?
