Well, first of all I should say that I'm not speaking as a person of color, so take my comments as you will.
I'm hesitant to say "change the name of the community" because that would be difficult and would also be erasing the history of the thing. But it's worth being aware of the fact that for new readers it signals a bias towards men, blacks, and America.
As loneraven says below, the userinfo uses some culturally specific language. I will let her speak on the "people of color" question because I'm not really qualified. One thing I was confused about myself, though, is the mention of "people of color in Hollywood." Is the comm really only about American shows or is it about Vancouver, Bollywood and the Ealing Studios as well?
