Meanwhile, one more person said, “This is proof of what I’ve been saying: Black films are held to an impossible standard that no one else faces, just so Hollywood can justify not making them when the bar isn’t met. A Black filmmaker says she’s been told that if the upcoming movie ‘You, Me and Tuscany’ doesn’t perform well (whatever that means—it’s always arbitrary), then Hollywood will stop making Black romcoms altogether. They’ve been doing this blackmail BS in one form or another since the beginning of Hollywood.”
