Color of audience

RE “More Color, Please,” by Patrick Goldstein, June 20: From what I know about the movie business, mainly from reading Calendar, the most desired audiences are young people, usually under 30. Most white Americans would be amazed to learn what demographers know: Among the population of the U.S. under 30, whites constitute only about 55%. In America today, more nonwhite babies are born than white babies.

Unless immigration policy is changed dramatically, the audience of tomorrow will be overwhelmingly brown and black. John Singleton’s movies, I predict, will be quite profitable.
