It seems to me, though, that SF is changing a bit. Although the "majority" population in SF FILMS are usually white, stories now have at least TWO -- count 'em -- black folks for every seven or so people. Yeah, I know...the quota system. Sometimes they have a black person and a Hispanic person. (and that makes up the quota.) And they aren't killing us off as quickly as usedta. Small blessings I know..but it shows that even though they think the future will be mostly white, they are at least aware of the power of our money at the box office. -C
