I remember an LA Times story where they compared the top 10 shows black people watched versus ones white people watched, and they were very different (60 Minutes and Friends, not so much). So there might be opportunity in a better-curated VOD service.

Yeah, I just figure having completely separate streaming services and content for separate ethnic groups is probably lower return than the equivalent for different genders; and neither sounds like it would have all that much to offer.
It would also be supremely easy to compete them out of existence for any establish VOD provider, because all they have to do is add some categories or a survey; and put some tags on their content. If they have a lot of customers in a demographic and they know they want stratified content, they can just commission it.
