i would say it's also the fault of many "black" movies (barbershop,...i can't think of the others names but all the ones with snoop dogg). The comedy in those movies is geared toward blacks and really doesn't appeal to others. Therefore, people get the idea that if the leading roles are all blacks, it'll be another one of those movies which most likely won't interest them. That's what i've observed.

it really shouldn't have mattered with will smith in there though.
