From early on too.

Behind the camera...Every director outside the first and the hobbs and shaw spinoff is a minority. That's 4 minority directors vs two non and 9 films vs 2 including upcoming sequels.

Then all the key characters like

Letty
Johnny
Roman
Monica
Tej
Neela
Twinkie
Hobbs
Han
Elena
Ramsey
Jakande
Madam M(upcoming)
Brixton(upcoming)

Plus alot of the minor but important roles(edwin, tego, don omar, jimmy)

And the best part...it takes place on earth and not deep space or a galaxy far far away :krs:

:salute:

They sprinkled some nonwhites in the background but it was always clear whose movie it was

Yea i feel like F&F was the first big franchise to “get” that not only Cacs like to go see fun popcorn movies.

Star Wars- Token nikkas
Star Trek-Token nikkas
Alien(s)- Token nikkas

F&F actually had blacks & Latinos that MEAN something to the overall plot (what little remains left lol) plus they got smart and included the Japanese/Asian market with Tokyo Drift. Couple that with badass “independent” female characters and EVERYONE has inclusion.
