A more accurate title would be "a certain race has a big STD problem".
I love that the article dances around the issue and pretends not to know why actresses make the choices they do. As if filthy ass porn whores have some sort of moral compass that prevents them from working with black actors. It's the STDS. An std will throw a major, sometimes permanent, wrench in a porn performers' career.

That's why blacks are banned from donating blood. Oh, what's that, it's only MSM that can't donate blood?

You realize that there's a pretty big difference there, right? Blood donation organizations test the blood.
While the big companies in the porn industry test their actors and actresses, but not all companies do. And if an actor/actress working for a big company is found to have an STD like herpes that can't be cured, they're done. In fact, they're often done even if they have a curable STD because it's assumed that it demonstrates poor sexual hygiene -- a big no-no in an industry that sells sex and needs to have a pool of non-diseased actors/actresses.

its one thing to contract HPV1-2 from a blood transfusion. Its quite another to get HIV.
