When I tried shooting a scene which would feature a recreation of the Satanic Virgin Sacrifice myth, I was warned by them not to use a black actress because way too many racist Satanists and black magicians might take it the wrong way. Maybe they were extremely politically correct, but it was interesting to hear nevertheless. Part of LaVey's doctrine was that each person can be a divinity in his or her own right and without basic principles to follow in terms to what personal conduct is and isn't ethical, a lot of racists and neo-Nazis might easily get into Satanic groups if black magic or LeVeyan doctrines ignite their fancy. Then again, just grouping all the things to which you object and naming them Satanism is just lazy and sloppy.
