Why is Hollywood so racist?

In “Taxi Driver,” Travis Bickle’s racism and misogyny are implicit features of his personality. We see it in the way he sizes up the groups of Black men he encounters on the street and in the unabated glee with which he kills the Black man who robs a liquor store. Harvey Keitel’s pimp character, it should also be noted, was originally supposed to be played by a Black man. In the film’s final massacre, all the criminals Bickle kills were supposed to be Black, an indictment on his own racism, but studio executives called for that detail to be changed, afraid that there would be riots.
Studio executives thought blacks would riot... over a movie.
I always suspected movie entertainment decisions got made for fear of black riots, but to have it confirmed true in at least one instance is surreal. Who the **** do they think black people are, naturally violent savages?
No, they won't riot at the drop of a pin. Absolutely nobody riots for trivial reasons.
