First, the audience in the US was the US population. You think Blacks and Latinos did not attend movies?
Second, one of the problems with Science Fiction as a genre is that it was peopled with whites . The presence of Ohura and Sulu in Star Trek were major steps toward more diverse sci fi as well as more diverse TV. The popularity of the Godzilla films made an impact too, encouraging sci fi to notice that the majority of the world’s population was Asian. Star wars’ universe peopled with humans, humanoids and robots presented a huge leap forward in diversity in sci fi.
