[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family is from rural Kansas. There weren’t black people in their town. It was a farming town and pretty much all white. Theirs was settled by Germans and still had a lot of German customs. If there were 8% blacks in Kansas, they were more likely in the big cities. [/quote] Exactly. Context of the place and time. [/quote] But Hollywood wasn’t making documentaries. They were making movies for the mass market…or should have been. Go read the thread on You are So Not Invited to my Bat Mitzvah where everyone criticizes the Jewish posters who said the diversity in Hebrew school in the movie wasn’t realistic. The posters say, “It’s not a documentary! It’s a movie for everyone!”[/quote]
