Do white people have UNIVERSAL APPEAL?

Dave Chappelle's Inside the Actors Studio interview brought to light
some interesting things. Aside from 10 different producers
individually trying to get him to dress up as a black woman (he said
it was never ending and weird/scary of how adamant they were), there
was the issue of casting black actresses.

He had his project all ready to go a cast. Then the producers told him
they want to get rid of the black actress and replace her with a white
one because she has more "universal appeal".

Do white people have more univeral appeal to you. Would you go watch a
movie more so because it has a white leading lady vs a black one?
