@@mr.mediocregamer9653 pre-woke Hollywood there was only room for a few token black actors in each category. For example, Queen Latifah was the funny black woman and got all those roles. Before streaming lots of black communities wouldn't go to the movies regularly due to price, they would buy cheap pirated VHS tapes on the street for five dollars. There used to be a huge street business selling VHS tapes of recent movies -- that pirate industry has disappeared mostly with streaming. Today, there are way more black people paying for streaming services than they ever did going to the movies, so there's more products made for paying black customers. Jackie Chan filled a token role imo. However, he's also a producer/filmmaker so he could make his own path without having to rely on others picking him among a field of actors. But you're right he's a rarity.

Lyoto Machida in his prime used to knock dudes on their ass by intercepting punches that came in just a bit too wide with one hand and blasting them on the chin with the other.
