base talk Top Gun beat No Way Home with whites. Surprised?

[fridayteenage]

 

While No Way Home did 3.6x better than Top Gun with POC it would appear, more white people showed up in full force for Top Gun than No Way Home. Is this a surprise?

The movie glorifies the military I think most of the people watching it are MAGA people. White Americans are weirdly obsessed with the military.

Well that makes sense, cuz little monsters are watching it

I watched it and I’m not white,

I’m a island born Puerto Rican and Lady Gaga is very relevant here.

The obsession with race 

[Tcharm]

 

this would be more funny if I were white and saw Top Gun this weekend too

 

[bidet]

the obsession with skin colors   the fact that someone keeps track of that   

[My Tears Ricochet]

Keeping up with the skin color of movie goers is so weird

It rubs me the wrong way how people expect non whites to be the dominant market in the US when 76% of the country is basically white. like inclusivity is cool and I'm all up for it. But what's the point of dragging something for being too white on a white dominant country? 

 

Population
White alone, percent	76.3%
Black or African American alone, percent(a)	13.4%
American Indian and Alaska Native alone, percent(a)	1.3%
Asian alone, percent(a)	5.9%

Except this excludes Latinos, many of whom do not identify as white.

Latin is not a skin color. You can be White, Black, Indigenous, Mixed.

And the point of this thread is....?

Did I say it was? I’m aware

 

My point stands, that 76% figure includes many mixed/mestizo Latinos who do not consider themselves white.

[Almighty Gaga]

Americans keep track of the race of moviegoers?
