Why are horror movie monsters always white people? Aside from aliens and literal monsters, it's always a white person or a creepy Japanese girl. I can't think of a single black slasher or villain in this genre.

That's because its fiction, they're the murderers in real life. It wouldn't scare people, they're used to it.

Black people don't need horror. They have gangs and the police to be worried about.

How dare you portray us as murderers and monsters! DAS WAYSIST!

You know that would be the reaction. Showing a black person as anything other than a saint is forbidden in this PC shitshow we call society.

Lol in your image the third “”””statistic”””” is just a vague claim. What garbage. Not to mention all the other things are still up for debate considering it’s nothing special that non-whites are the victims of crimes and laws written BY whites. I want to love rules but how valid are the “rule-makers”. I’d be struggling to try to live in some other races’ idea of “””society”””

Until the 1990s America was a predominately white country. Ergo most characters were white.
Japan is like 99% ethnically Yamato Japanese, therefore most characters are Japanese.
Horror is often, though not always, something something non typically scary doing scary things. So in the US a white dude/woman, in Japan a little Japanese girl. Rather than something that is already foreign and scary.

The horror genre basically died in the 80s any new characters are hardly memorable.

Also:
>Mummy's character was ethnically Egyptian, so while being Caucasian, you might not call him "white"
>Original Frankenstein's monster actor was Anglo-Indian.
>Most minorities are scary in their own right, you don't need to give them super powers.
