The real reason why people of color “don’t sell” in the media is because of racism. Plain and simple. If you can’t market people of color to a larger audience without using tired ass stereotypes, you fail at your job and you should be fired immediately and go back to fucking advertising school.
I’m looking dead at every single executive in HollyWhite.
So your ass can pull out however many movies starring all white casts doing mundane shit, but you can’t realistically sell a movie with a POC in the lead doing things other than being the Sassy Black Friend/Dragon Lady/Dusty Desi Mystic/Sexless Asian Nerd/Angry Black man?
You clearly don’t deserve a fucking job then.
Wasn’t there a study that said TV boosts self esteem in white kids but not POC kids?
