The same way I can look at a movie starring someone like Russell Crowe or Tom Hanks and know who they are going after.
It\'s really not a race thing as much as it is a business thing.
i\'d have to say it\'s a little bit of both..since the majority of people in the u.s. are white you are going to see more movies geared toward that audience. but there still is an audience for minorities as well,..there is still a profit & money to gain from these films even if the profit is small. while some minority themed movies do quite well (remembers the first week barbershop came out) Of course this has to do with what movies are being released as well.
bottom line is you will have white movies getting more support than minority type films being they are the majority.
ps: this movie "you just got served" seems to be a movie that\'s crossing all cultures white ,black, hispanic, like fast & the furious, but leaning a little more towards the black side of it. i\'m not sure if i\'m explaining myself clearly but hopefully you guys understand
