Something stereotypical, that is what non-African thinks about african culture, withcraft, voodoo, poverty, there is much more to African culture than just voodoo, they must do research, but I think they were too lazy and just tought that they would "make us happy" with only putting black characters and putting a voodoo villain on a movie.They should have tried something not stereotypical.

Its hard to go outside the norm and relate to individuals or groups. Each individual has his interpretations of the norms and stereotypes applied to certain groups and some of them might not be true, might be partially true, or totally true. In the end the group reacts best to the norm or stereotypes that is applied to them it sort of allows them to keep to a group identity and the Creole culture is very diverse and probably does not represent every Afram group in America very well.
