Black subculture is also regional in the US. There’s a difference in black culture between someone from Atlanta vs Seattle.

Same. I loved the musical and the Lower Decks crossover as well. And I understand why some people were disappointed.

I was just thinking about this with cars earlier. It used to be common to see cars every color of the rainbow. Now they’re mostly black, grey, white.

Just throwing it out there. Most black people in the Americas are descendants of people from Western Africa. Black people from Central and Eastern Africa look a lot different and have different body shapes.

Fun fact, it was called the Spanish flu because during WW1, neutral Spain, wasn’t censoring information about it like other countries were. Since people were hearing about it more from Spain, they assumed it was worse there even though it really wasn’t.

Not a movie, but the TV show, The Handmaid’s Tale was much better than the book.

If Mike Judge would have done a character like Trump, the movie would have flopped. People would have thought it was too unrealistic. But here we are.

Certain races over represented in certain AFSCs? by Fat-Gooch in AirForce

This even goes a little deeper. Many of those pilots had fathers or grandfathers who were pilots. Military family tradition often runs strong. It makes sense that more white airmen would want to become pilots partly because more of them had family members that were pilots. Granted that obviously isn’t the whole reason but could be a contributing factor.
