Like I said someone else can waste their time breaking down your list. I won't because for the same exact reason you just said of me.

That nothing will convince you and your heart is set in stone.
Look at the grief the modern consumer has to deal with, tossed aside in favor of the mythical younger or mainstream fanbase, and many are uncertain as to the future of where entertainment media goes.

Instead of more black characters, how about more interracial couples? I actually find those surprisingly sparse compared to, well, ever.

Mythical younger or mainstream fanbase? You mean the age group that everyone focuses on for the past 80 years to sell their product? All of a sudden it is a mythical age group now because you don't agree with the product that is being aimed at them?
I got nothing to say here.

Well, that WOULD require there to be more non-white characters to pair up with white/other non-white characters, so...

I'm assuming because he's older, he's no longer among the target audience.
