 Latinx representation in Hollywood is embarrassingly bad. Only 7.7% of all movie roles went to Latinx actors in 2021, even though Latinx people make up over 18% of the total US population. Even worse, more than a third of Latinx lead actor roles are criminals. So why is this happening? Maybe because representation behind the camera isn't any better. Just 5.6% of movie writers in 2021 were Latinx, and only 7.1% of directors were as well. Despite all this, the Latinx community is keeping movie theaters alive. They go to the theater more often than any other ethnic group, making up a fourth of all ticket sales. So maybe it's time for Hollywood to give this community the representation it deserves.
