It seems interesting that with all its investment in original content, Netflix would rather re-skin "white" movies than invest in "black" movies.

I wonder if this is a sign of institutional racism at work and lack of diversity.

Citation needed, here. Netflix could be doing both.

I know, right? I just may not be seeing the black movies because I'm a white customer.
Or you may not be seeing black movies because you don't watch black movies. I think the only solution here is the "Android" route: allow people to log in to their account and turn the knobs on the recommendation algorithms, or turn them off entirely.
