The systemic bias problem in Marvel’s Infinity War
*Spoiler Alert*
If you have not yet seen Marvel’s “Avengers Infinity War” stop reading now.
Sometimes, when human resources people aren’t shown the date demonstrating their systemic hiring biases, they have no idea they have diversity hiring problems.
I totally get that most of the characters who were subject to “Death by Culling” are coming back (either using Captain Marvel, Thanos being haunted by Gamora, or through the Time Stone)…but, the deaths in Infinity War seemed to be a bit too specific to a certain…melanin makeup.
Marvel Studios, Disney, MCI…Here is some culling data from your movie Infinity War (which was very good by the way)…and the data seems to demonstrate that you might have a systemic bias about Avenger character deaths.
To recap, the following characters played by African Americans who died in Infinity War:
Heimdall (Played by Idris Elba)
Gamora (Played by Zoe Saldana)
Black Panther (Played by Chadwick Boseman)
Falcon (Played by Anthony Mackie)
Nick Fury (Played by Samuel L. Jackson)
