Well, one could argue that placing the needs of your white male viewers first etc is racist and sexist, but I get your point and it is pretty crazy making. (And I think thinking of things in terms of deliberate bigotry misses the motivations behind most of this stuff, since most people are at least superficially interested in tolerance etc)

Its like the "No female leads in childrens films" thing: apparenly boys just will not identify with a female lead. At least, this is the case in the minds of the producers, and they're the ones who make the decisions.

So....what was your biggest bugbear re: the matrix? :D
