The movie business is a gambling business, and the stakes are high. You risk millions of dollars on the hope of earning millions more. Most of the time you don’t.
So they are going to be straight faced and proclaim that minorities and LBTQRDSAdFhFdg are under-represented by their ratio of population to general society. Really?
Correct. And when they green light movie projects they usually have on tinted glasses that serve to bias the green lights towards more progressive themes. These are precisely the type of themes that might feature more minorities, LGBT types and such. So if such a movie is not funded (and thereby minorities and LGBTs do not get a gig in the movie), it is because the powers that be do not think it will be a moneymaker. The solution seems to be: figure out ways to place minorities and LGBTs in plots that are likely to make money and the gigs and screen credits will occur.
