    Everything Hollywood does is tested through market audiences, so in actuality it's the general public that's racist, sexist etc. Hollywood is just trying to get paid.

    I believe that Hollywood reflects what society dictates.

    In some cases exemple white superheroes... but not all

    Look at the slim actress agenda. It is pushed by the corporations through hollywood imo

    Superheroes stem from popular characters with interesting stories and unfortunately the characters in the comic books are mostly white. But then again, you're forgetting that Will Smith and Wesley Snipes were superheroes in very poular movies

    The actress is dictated from what society finds attractive. You wanna bet that if the most popular fashion book was all about Full figured women that Hollywood would start putting those kind of women in roles other than comic relief or the best friend with great advice.

    Trust me, Hollywood is all about money and they will exploit whatever is big in popular culture

    I can agree with you with the actors stuff. But not on the weight business.
    The connections are obvious.
    First they hit your weight with bad food then they make feel ? by the images you see on the vids and movies and finally they sell you the no permanent solution...
