It's obviously an algorithm doing this. It noticed that people who watch X movies, are more likely to respond to Y movies if they have Z posters.
Not that it isn't a pretty stupid thing to complain about. Anyone who chooses to watch movies based solely on the race of the lead characters is way too into this stupid culture war. But is still a weird thing that this algorithm is doing, and I'm not surprised people picked up on it eventually.
