Isn’t this the story for all media … the only way gatekeepers grant entry is if you agree to malign your own… be the native informer. Sick I know. Thinking of this as I listen to #trojanhorsepodcast

Not only the tv shows, the big brands only using black & white face for their Advertising , even cartoon characters mostly made up of black & white .Asians no where to be seen even though they are the night tax payers
Also encourage your kids to go into media. The more of us there are the more the narrative has a chance to change.

The answer to this is simple. You clearly know who controls media. Will you continue to complain and ask for them to change? Or quit SAG?
Quit SAG, start a union of Black & Brown talent, set your own rules & own your content.
What leverage does the industry have?
This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

How convenient he is to show random samples. Why can’t you ask the same qn other way around. What % of non Muslim actors exist in Pakistan and other muslim majority countries? 0 % . LOL

It's about time! Muslims have been grossly underrepresented on television for far too long. This new research is a much-needed step in the right direction to ensure that Muslims are accurately represented in the media.

This is just another example of Hollywood's Islamophobia. Muslims are grossly underrepresented on television, and when they are represented, it is usually in a negative light. This research just confirms what we already know: Hollywood has a long way to go in terms of inclusion
