Even taking hyperbole into account, this is not a great metric and has not been bourne out in my experience.

What's a suspiciously high and low score?

Maybe they've gotten better at filtering that shit out in the past couple of years, but can tell you with certainty that I've watched at least a half dozen shows and movies based entirely on this and have enjoyed them. My memory is shit so I can't seem to think of any off the top of my head right now. If any come to me I will update this comment.

It's usually media that portray the black experience in America, or that shows US history (particularly slavery and/or Jim Crow) in a negative light. Sometimes it's just because it's about strong women. Or, in their minds, it makes men look bad (because portraying the objectively shitty things men do is apparently biased)

For examples of the religious BS, look up anything Jim Caveizal has been in throughout the last decade or so.
