Myth. That's just their imaginative paranoia.

Most people(at least from my experience) can care less about what race the actor is.

Blade had a strong lead black male character and till this day its a favorite among vampire movies.

i do believe black acts can sell, blade started the whole serious comic book adaptation and snipes gets absolutely no credit for it.

but i'm saying, black leads usually under perform when compared to white protags with similar budgets.
