[quote=Anonymous] So, I was a teenager living in a diverse area when Footloose came out. I saw Footloose of course (both the movie and the soundtrack was very popular). I noticed it was very white, but I always thought that it was set in a rural town that may have been most/all white. I mean, that was the point of the movie right? Kid moves from Chicago to small town where dancing is illegal (and there were still places where public dancing was illegal in the 80's) and tries to change that . It was a simple storyline really, I don't think they were trying to exclude other races but rather show how narrow the town was. There were a lot of dance movies in the 1980's. Some showed all White people, some showed all Black people, and some showed a much broader mix of people. It was the times I guess.[/quote]
