Although criticized by civil rights activists because of their use of stereotypes, they pointed to the great and newfound demand for Afrocentric entertainment and were immensely popular among the black audience, but also among whites.The term blaxploitation was always contested by actors and directors who took part, because it was considered offensive and not very enriching.
