Well if we (as in "minorities") stopped supporting Hollywood, things would probably change.  As long as we just complain, but still drop $12 on a movie ticket anyways it'll stay the same.

this.
and in the comic books, none of those characters are black or latino so why would they be in the movie?

Now what happens if Luke Cage pops up and is played by a white guy?

On the DC side, Ertha Kitt famously played Catwoman on TV. Helle Berry played the character on film, as awful as it was. But certain things just won't fly for me. For example, I wouldn't mind an alternate race for an iteration of Spiderman, but I wouldn't want to see a Black Peter Parker. That's just me. I grew up reading my dad's old comics, and became a light collector myself when I was younger. So some of these characters have some history with me.
There is a black/hispanic spider man though. http://www.usatoday.com/l...1-black-spider-man_n.htm

The Avengers were created in the 60s. They're an all white team. How they gonna suddenly change who Tony Stark is when RDJR has been playing him for the past 5 years or so?

I can barely remember any hispanic Avengers (maybe that one dude with lightning powers) in the early days (first 3 decades) and the most recent I can think of was deaf and is now dead.

That's just how it is in comics period. The flagship famous characters are all white. Just gotta deal with it for now.
 
Yeah definitely not a fair playing field in the industry. Considering how many Asians there are, it's disturbing how few of them get any decent roles. And anyone that says "it's just because more white people want to act" just take a seat. The ratio is completely one sided

Definately, and the ethnic actors that do exist in American films play  1d roles
 
they're alot of hispanics in hollywood....problem is they either by accident or purposely blend into being either white or black to get more roles.

Something tells me you would never play a black role
 
who. the. *$+$. cares?

seriously? go do you and stop worrying about what's being underrepresented and overrepresented. unless you plan on doing something to change it, stop complaining.

What industry? You guys are all basically referring to Hollywood.



Hollywood is not the be all, end all in the global film industry. Y'all need to diversify your viewing material.

We're talking about the global level here. Say Tom Cruise's name around the world and most people would recognize him. Say a great comedic actor like Stephen Chow in a Western country and most people would be lost.
