There is no doubt that the Academy Awards will be controversial this year. With the whole #OscarsSoWhite campaign opening eyes to an issue that may have gone unnoticed to the casual viewer, here are a few more mainstream subjects that are also "so white" but have flown under the radar for far too long.
The Avengers AND Justice League
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, avengers justice league]()
Not to mention pretty much all superhero teams including the Fantastic Four, Watchmen and X-Men (but more on them later).
The cast of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, buffy the vampire slayer cast]()
Apparently there were no black people in California from the late '90s to the early '00s. But that can't be right, can it? Surely '90s television as a whole was a little more diverse.
All teen dramas from the late '90s to the early '00s
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, beverly hills 90210 teen drama]()
Everything from "Beverly Hills, 90210" to "Gilmore Girls" to "The O.C." Feel free to do the research.
Video game protagonists
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, video game protagonists]()
Mario and Luigi. Link. Mega Man. Lara Croft. Max Payne. Nathan Drake. Solid Snake. Duke Nukem. We could go on, but that's probably enough. Seriously, there are more talking animal leads in video games than black dudes.
The phrase "cool beans"

We're just guessing on this one, but we're still fairly certain it's 100 percent accurate.
The X-Men films
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, xmen films]()
Halle Berry is about all you've got. And even she's half Caucasian!
Doctor Who
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, all doctor who]()
Just because he's capable of being any race or gender he chooses, that doesn't mean he's done it. Like, ever. Seriously.
Professional hockey
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, professional hockey]()
Also swimming, bowling, virtually everything X Games and NASCAR. And that's just off the top of my head.
People who participate in and/or attend dog shows
![things you didn't realize were so white, other things so white, dog show]()
We're not quite sure why, that just appears to be the way it is.
The audience at a Jeff Dunham show

Again, we don't entirely get it, but it's clearly the case.
