I am all for diversity in films, but...

I am tired of seeing the same old tired films rehashed or rebooted just for the sake of including a diverse cast. How about new stories / films that feature a diverse cast from the get go? That feature a Black hero or Black heroine from the get go? That feature a Black hero or Black heroine in a story purposely written with a Black hero or Black heroine in mind? Something new. Something meaningful. Something well-written. Something inherently different. Not trite or stereotypical or superficial.
