I don't understand why they have to put a black person as a leader or a wife for somebody everytime.

@nicol1212 only a racist would be bothered by that. Don't bother to deny it.

@nicol1212 that's a lot of progress both for women and non-whites i'd say. 50 years ago we wouldn't have a women as a leader nor a portrayal of a mixed relationship.

@goncaalo Women like Rosalind Russell, Bette Davis & Pam Grier were strong from the 40s to 70s. Hollywood's first interracial kiss was in Island in the Sun (1957).

@nicol1212 The writers/directors may be the white liberals Malcolm X warned about:

"The white liberals, who have been posing as our friends, have failed us. The white liberal is the worst enemy to America and the worst enemy to the black man."

"White liberals are those who have perfected the art of selling themselves to the black man as our 'friend' to get our sympathy, our allegiance and our minds. The white liberal attempts to use us politically against white conservatives, so that anything the black man does is never for his own good, never for his advancement, never for his own progress, he's only a pawn in the hands of the white liberal."

"In America the history of white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make us think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white liberal. The only way that our problems will be solved is when the black man wakes up, cleans himself up, stands on his own two feet, stops begging the white liberal and takes immediate steps to do for ourselves the things that we have been waiting on the white liberal to do for us."

"The Democrats are playing you for a political chump and if you vote for them, not only are you a chump, you are a traitor to your race."

Malcolm X was assassinated two days after expressing the last quote.
