There's three reasons for this:
(Anonymous) 2014-11-08 03:43 am (UTC)(link)2. Fans are often unsure or uncomfortable with writing POC characters for fear of doing something wrong.
3. Official writers often write POC characters in more marginalized, passive, supporting roles than white characters. So the most complex, interesting, well-written, coherent, central characters in a show/movie are usually white. This is so common than even when POC characters ARE interesting/complex/well-written, fans' brains are hard-wired to expect POC characters to be boring and their expectations become a self-fulfilling prophecy. (Basically, the same phenomenon as female characters).
