Similar to the Girl-Show Ghetto, but with racial minorities instead of females. This is the idea that fiction centered on a racial minority cannot entertain or otherwise appeal to people outside of that race. Marketers might fear that a work starring a racial minority will be focused on issues of race and culture, driving away audiences who are not interested in such movies. They might also fear that white audiences won't be able to relate to a minority in the lead, or worse, find the movies preachy and/or guilt-inducing simply because of who is in them. The result of this belief is that works starring people of a racial minority in the work's place of origin are rare compared to works starring a member of a racial majority. If a Western work of fiction wishes to have a diverse cast or deal with issues of race, it will likely star a white person with minorities as supporting actors. See Mighty Whitey, White Man's Burden, White Male Lead, Token White, and Pop-Culture Isolation. Adaptions and anything Based on a True Story fearing this might go for a race lift to get around it, making any minorities in the original work white instead. Alternatively, they might find a white person who had a minor role in the original story and focus on them. It is not uncommon for works featuring non-white leads to become popular when advertising hides or downplays the presence of non-white characters. This is especially true in written works, where advertising does not require visual representations of the characters. Sometimes these works see no drop in popularity when the lead is shown to be a person of color, suggesting that readers will enjoy a good story once they get over their initial reluctance from seeing a person of color on the cover, or that the reluctance doesn't exist in the first place. Note that this trope is often a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy. Marketeers are afraid that majority people might not be interested in a minority-centric work since it might deal with hard-to-relate themes. This can cause filmmakers to make their movies about those themes since they may be relatable to only minorities to begin with and thus implement themes they feel are important, causing many such movies to in fact feature such themes, thus usually keeping majority people away... and so on. So please be discerning when adding or editing examples. See also Watched It for the Representation, where people turn out to see a work because it has minorities. |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Invoked in the episode "The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award". The main characters want to revitalize their bar to win an award (the allegory being that the "bar" is their TV show, competing against other shows for critical praise). They discuss getting some minorities in, but stress that they can't have more than three, because then it would turn into a "black bar". | |

Onyx Equinox, the third Crunchyroll original production to be released after Tower of God and The God of High School was also the least successful of the released originals up to that point. After a few weeks of releasing the episodes weekly, Crunchyroll eventually released the entire series the day after Christmas 2020 to burn off what remained. | |

All four attempts to star the Jaime Reyes version of the Blue Beetle have ended with the series being cancelled, none having lasted longer than two and a half years. Some have cited the issue being that he's a Latino superhero, starring a prominently Latino cast, and set in El Paso, Texas, taking up the mantle of a B-lister (in fact, that's the reason Jaime was allowed to be created, because it was believed no one would care about the Blue Beetle). All of this despite being a well-liked character and possibly the most iconic version to modern audiencesnote especially after his appearances in Batman: The Brave and the Bold and Young Justice.. In fact, he's been cited as an example of how an Affirmative-Action Legacy character can be done right. | |

Imitation of Life (1959) broke out of the ghetto but the marketing heavily focused on the Love Triangle between Lana Turner, John Gavin and Sandra Dee - almost in an attempt to sucker audiences who might be alienated by what the director viewed as the true story of the film; Lana Turner's black housekeeper trying to raise her fair-skinned daughter. | |

Red Tails was in development hell for over 20 years because the idea of an all-black cast wasn't appealing enough for a movie studio to fund it, so producer George Lucas funded the film entirely out of his own pocket and it finally saw the light of day in 2012. It got a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes and didn't make back its budget at the box office. Like many other examples, it's unclear if this is because of the all-black cast, valid criticisms of the film, or simply for having George Lucas's name on it. The film was quite successful for an independently-produced project and Lucas is trying to get a sequel made. | |

The Earthsea novels had explicitly non-white main characters, though taking place in a fantasy world, so the books themselves are actually a pretty good example of an aversion (fantasy being a very white-dominated genre); its covers, however, have not always lived up to this, with some making the main character white. In addition, the TV miniseries adaptation gave everyone a Caucasian race lift save for the main character's mentor who remained black, and the anime Tales from Earthsea, due to the way Japanese animation portrays ethnicity in general, made everyone look Caucasian. | |

One of the theories as to why The Princess and the Frog wasn't as successful as it was expected would have been because of the protagonist's ethnicity. However, other factors from lack of advertising, to being released at the same time as Avatar, to the use of traditional animation have also been blamed. Mind you, the movie was still successful as far as animated movies go. Still, it would take seven years for the Walt Disney Animation Studios to release another musical about a royal of color — the predominantly-CGI Moananote which was pitched to the studio two years after TPatF, which fortunately turned a larger gross. | |

Priest finally returned to mainstream comics in 2016 with Deathstroke for the DC Rebirth relaunch. He claims he initially turned down an offer to do a Cyborg series for the reasons mentioned above, and only agreed to write Deathstroke after the editors assured him the character hadn't been Race Lifted into a black guy. | |

Discussed by Cracked in "5 Old-Timey Prejudices That Still Show Up in Every Movie." Three of them, including the top two, address elements of this trope. #2 says that movies always star a white person (or Will Smith) and #1 discusses how white audiences don't care about history not involving white people. | |

Issa Rae, the creator of Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl, discusses this in this interview. She says that the show couldn't exist without the Internet because TV has a very strict notion of how a black character should act, which is why ABG's network TV adaptation was in Development Hell for so long. A Spiritual Successor of sorts, Insecure was released on HBO in 2016 (which could also reflect this trope, since HBO is likely the only network that would take a risk on a show with a majority black cast). | |

Seis Manos was Powerhouse Animation's first original series following the very well-received Castlevania (2017). However, unlike Castlevania, Seis Manos drew on Mexican culture and a Mexican setting for its series. Also unlike Castlevania, the show suffered from very low viewership and conversations with the showrunners (particularly during a 2020 New York Comic Con panel) seem to indicate that the one season is all that will be made. | |

Static Shock reportedly had a lot of issues with obtaining merchandising deals, which was what led to its cancellation (albeit only after a respectable four-season run). This was despite the fact that it got incredibly good ratings throughout that run—at its height, only Pokémon: The Series was beating it out in its block. | |

The Twilight Zone (2002) suffered from this. It aired on UPN, a station known for its minority shows, and it ended up being forced to reflect that (plots such as a racist white man waking up black, Forest Whitaker as the host, etc). It only lasted one season, presumably because the changes scared away some white viewers but weren't enough to attract UPN's usual demographic. UPN in general faced this problem for its entire existence. While its Black-led sitcoms were always popular with black audiences, none of them ever managed to break out of the ghetto. When UPN was merged with The WB in 2006 to form The CW, most of UPN's black-led shows wound up getting left behind and the new network aimed for The WB's white middle-class audience. Despite this, many shows on UPN still have their fans to this day, and even after ditching these shows, the "middle-class" CW would still struggle in the ratings. Ironically The WB itself started off similarly to UPN and had the same problem with its black sitcoms. Likewise Fox in the early '90s. |

In The Real Husbands of Hollywood, J.B. Smoove eventually leaves the show to join the cast of The Millers, and jokingly brags about how much more he's getting paid now that he's on a "white show" rather than a BET production. He's also seen wearing a shirt that reads "White people love me." In an earlier episode, Chris Rock guest-stars and explains to Kevin Hart the difference between being "black famous" and "actually famous," essentially invoking this trope in all but name. | |

Outsourced (the TV adaptation) had a majority cast of Americans, Canadians, and British of subcontinental descent. This—combined with the subject matter of outsourcing hitting a nerve with Americans and its multicultural humor that Americans who'd never lived outside their country would not understand—led to the show's cancellation. | |

The Good Earth was a bestselling and critically acclaimed novel about the lives of Chinese farmers. A film adaptation was greenlit, and the original author and the filmmakers themselves wanted an all Asian cast. Sadly this was Hollywood in the 1930s and most of the parts went to white actors in Yellowface. Anna May Wong, leading Chinese-American movie star, wanted desperately to play the female lead - but the Hays Code prevented her from playing the wife of a white man (even if he was made up to look Chinese). | |

Although their movies averted the trope, it's suspiciously alive and well in the Disney Princess merchandise. Mulan and Pocahontas are often featured less than the white princesses - possibly due to their lack of Pimped Out Dresses and coming from cultures that wouldn't allow for the Western-style gowns the princesses are often depicted in. Jasmine, an Arab princess, is likewise sometimes depicted in a western style gown. A 2014 study showed that Tiana and Jasmine's merchandise sold considerably less than the white princesses'. A redesign in 2013 controversially lightened the skin tones of all the princesses of colour too. | |

He also invoked this trope while discussing The Crew, a short-lived book he wrote featuring War Machine and several other minority heroes. He initially tried to get characters like Gambit and Justice added to the cast precisely because he didn't want The Crew to be seen as a "black" comic, but when this fell through, he ended up with an entirely-minority cast. He claims the lack of white characters is one of the things that helped kill the book, as retailers didn't feel like ordering a series without any recognizable white superheroes. | |

Hirohiko Araki mentioned in an interview that he believes one of the reasons the first two parts of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure didn't make as much of a splash as the third, which starred the half-Japanese, half-American Jotaro Kujo, was because they featured wholly European protagonists during a time when Japanese audiences were heavily against such characters. Since then, with the exception of Steel Ball Run every protagonist in the series has some measure of Japanese heritage in order to avert this trope. | |

A big part of why disco viciously fell out of style for decades in the United States is that it was never able to fully escape this despite the explosion of its mainstream popularity. It had its roots in the Black, Latino, Italian, and gay nightclubs of New York City and Philadelphia, roots that it never shook even as people from those scenes accused the genre's biggest artists of selling out, and so for many (especially in Middle America) who didn't come from that background, disco came to be indelibly associated with hedonistic effetes and city slickers bringing their lifestyles into the heartland. Music historians often see the backlash against disco as intertwined with the broader conservative backlash of the late '70s and early '80s that eventually put Ronald Reagan in the Oval Office. | |

A Wrinkle in Time (2018) received lots of publicity for the fact that it was a big budget fantasy film with minority leads - the Murrays receive a Race Lift from the book to become a mixed race family. The film's lukewarm critical and commercial reception prompted The Mary Sue to publish an article about this very subject. | |
