This does not surprise me at all as people who work out of the camera in the entertainment industry are some of the most racist people I have ever met, bar none.
Dirty Little Emmy Secret: Trump Supporters Much More Racially Diverse Than Lily-White Television
Dirty Little Emmy Secret: Trump Supporters Much More Racially Diverse Than Lily-White Television
According to a just-released study, minority actors make up only 11.4 percent of the lead actors in television roles. Things are not much better for supporting non-white roles, where white actors “account for about three-quarters of the scripted roles on cable and broadcast.”
In other words, while minorities make up nearly 40 percent of the American population, oh-so progressive Hollywood reduces the minority presence on television to a mere 11 percent in lead roles and a mere 25 percent in all roles.
Let us now compare Hollywood’s horrible record of racial diversity on television to the racial diversity of those Hollywood relentlessly blasts as racists, meaning: those awful Trump Supporters.
Only 58 percent of Trump supporters are white. Of that remaining non-white 42 percent, eight percent are black, while 29 percent are Hispanic.
Compare that to the 89% of lead television roles and 75% of all television roles that are white.
