And Latinos are the largest minority in the US at this point.;) The statistics have only just changed within the last five years.

You guys brought up Fallen, which I think, is a great example of a horror film that features not only a minority as the lead, but also a fuckin' great actor despite it. Denzel carried a big name to that film. The same is true with Seven.

I can't remember which of you said it, but I totally agree: A lot of big ta-do stars aren't going audition for a horror film. They DON'T carry the weight. The Haunting being the obvious exception, and they were all white.

However, we now have Halle Berry in Gothika (if you even want to register that piece of shit film).

This subject is interesting to me because I'm part Cherokee. (And don't even get me started on Native Americans in film...period).
