Recently, multiple black Netflix users have noticed shows and movies are being promoted to them with thumbnails featuring supporting black characters in a movie or show with white leads.
It’s not just Brown; other black Netflix subscribers chimed in on Twitter to say they similarly felt targeted based on their race.
Both me and another white ScreenCrush editor checked our Netflix accounts; we both had images (albeit different ones) of Bell and Grammar.
Netflix has recently started to promote movies and shows with some untraditional thumbnails that aren’t the typical movie poster or studio promo images you usually see.
