If we're going to talk about Hollywood - that's a whole different basket of bread.

Tom Cruise plays manga because the movie could not get made without him attached - simple as that. There would be no money to make it without him.

Movies like red tails and 42 are simply not going to attract a wide-audience because the majority of Americans and Europeans (read as the majority of the audience for mainstream movies) are white and don't care about African-American history. This isn't a good or bad thing - it's simply a thing.

Most movie goers aren't interested in their own history either unless the movie destroys a city and even then there had better be a cape or a giant robot involved.

Most domestic films reflect the tastes of the widest most boring audience available in Glendale, California on a weekday afternoon. It's not a conspiracy, just a lot of really boring dumb people trying to make money.
