Yeah, but we're only getting that single scenario from Hollywood. I wanna see the alternative for once
In fact, it might be a real slap in the face (literally and figuratively) to see the main character get beat up, really badly. Build up to the fight scene, slow down the frames, music suggests something heroic is gonna happen, an-
NOPE.
Cut the music, close up of him getting knocked to the floor.
Getting his ass beat for over a minute. No track, the just sound of punches and him struggling to make it out alive.
It's like the movie reminding you, "this is what it would look like in real life. Also, you're watching a movie"
Then, you can make him build back up. Do a reverse scene at the end

..There are. bwc is a thing, and it takes black men and replaces them with whites, and white women and replaces them (usually) with asian women.
It copies the same dynamic. I don't disagree with FD's reasoning for white men being so obsessed w black mens sexuality, but I do think the commenters suffer from an inability, or refusal, to explain their thinking to anyone who doesn't already subscribe to the core ideas understood to be true.
In OPs case, asking those kinds of questions may just be a case of conditioning from porn, rather than knowingly perpetuating the echoes of explicitly racist treatment.
Surely you understand that the effects of something can long outlive the intentions behind those effects
(keeping black people poor-- on the books there's no discrimination today, but the legacy of covenants and redlining mean they are still kept down despite the legal framework to do so being long gone. aka poverty breeds poverty)
Might be the same here-- the dude's friend isn't thinking in terms of race, he is just asking about something he has seen, unaware of the long racial history it represents
