I think there was a Black French or French-speaking family on it.

Among the disproportionate number of men who perished — largely due to the ship’s “women and children first” emergency protocol — only two are said to be black: Joseph Laroche, 26, a Haitian-born, French-educated engineer who was moving back to Haiti because he could not find work in his profession; and Victor Giglio, the son of an Italian father and Egyptian mother, and personal secretary to U.S. industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim.
Giglio and Laroche are actually believed to be the only men of color aboard the ill-fated ship, which carried 2,224 people on its route to New York.

Why wasn’t he addressed in the movie?
I bet when it was his turn for seat in the life boat they skipped over him for a white man

Seems like they were under-represented. When is someone going to correct this by providing free seats on the Titanic?
