Statistics from USC study of diversity in Hollywood film from 2013
Women are generally sexualized more than men in film, but Latina women are disproportionately depicted with little or no clothes. (Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)
African American characters have representation that is generally on par with their population. But almost a fifth of all films continue to exclude them entirely. (Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)
One of the categories that fares the worst in representation of minority characters is animation. In 2013, comedy was the best, though it is neck-and-neck with action-adventure. (Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)
In six years, only two black female directors have helmed a Hollywood blockbuster. Black men have slightly better representation, having directed 6% of Hollywood’s top-grossing films. But their presence is still limited; African Americans account for 13.2% of the U.S. population. (Carolina A. Miranda / Los Angeles Times)
