Getting Played -- who's playing you?!

The USA's entertainment industry is not diverse. This much is obvious. As reported by the Screen Actors Guild, The Biz employs more than 72% White and 62% male on-camera talent (SAG reports), numbers that do not remotely reflect the populations of entertainment hubs Los Angeles and New York City where people of color and women constitute more than half of all residents (source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2000 Estimates). Behind camera employment numbers are equally uninspiring. What can we do about it? Honorable Mention Recipient at the 2010 IBWFF, explore What The ...

the US entertrancement industry is a sham and should be taken down. Why do people need to be entertained by celebrities? this is old will dissolve soon. Things like this will supecede ( youtube-real people) as more are seeing through the media veil. FINALLY... who cares about it, let's just do new things into the future. We can't truss any of that old school white boy club shit....and I'm white!! ..sorry for the redunant posts.. but THANKS FOR THE GREAT DOC. IT was riveting and so sad. :(
