Universal Pictures made different Straight Outta Compton trailers for black, white and hispanic audiences, according to claims made at the SXSW festival.<\/p>\n

It’s thought that bosses from the company teamed up with Facebook to “customise” them.<\/p>\n

Universal’s head of digital marketing Doug Neil told an audience that most white people in America were unaware of rap group N.W.A, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n

It seems the thinking was centred around the idea that white audiences are more aware of Dr Dre, a founder member of the group, from Beats headphones than from his music.<\/p>\n

“The trailer marketed to them on Facebook had no mention of N.W.A., but sold the movie as a story of the rise of Ice Cube and Dr. Dre,” he said.<\/p>\n

Facebook said in a statement to Newsbeat: “Several news outlets have stated that Facebook allows advertisers to target ads based on race. That is not accurate. Facebook does not have a capability for people to self-identify by race or ethnicity on the platform.”<\/p>\n

Although people cannot be targeted by race on the platform, it’s still possible to make and post different versions of the trailer.<\/p>\n

One trailer could have been something like this one<\/a><\/strong><\/span> Newsbeat found on the official Straight Outta Compton Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/span> page.<\/p>\n

Or this one, which also has no mention of N.W.A<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Whereas this trailer<\/a><\/strong><\/span> mentions the group.<\/p>\n

However, it is not uncommon for studios to make trailers for specific markets.<\/p>\n

Take for example, Star Wars.<\/p>\n

There were trailers made specifically for Japan, with new dialogue, different shots and new names<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And some films clip trailers based on where certain scenes were shot around the world, like Transformers and the Fast and Furious Franchise.<\/p>\n

Newsbeat has contacted both Universal Studios and Facebook for comment.<\/p>\n
