"Success in the porn industry tends to require a certain level of respect for fantasy, even when it ventures into the politically incorrect."

Best quote in the whole piece. The whole article angle crying about black performers being underpaid is ridiculous though. The market will bear what the market will bear.

If something brings in less money, then it's only common sense to cut the cost if you can to restore the profit level; either reduce the wage level(as mentioned in the case of black actresses) or cut the availability(as in the case of black actors) and you bring things in line with what the market wants. And, as it turns out, what most of the market wants are people who look like them. Sure, you can claim otherwise, but how often do porn films come out even without so much as an oblique reference to the race of the nonwhite actor/actress in their description?
