Although the movie industry has made some great progress in its representation of people of color, in my blog, I would like to debunk the ways in which they are doing so. Whether or not they are truly trying to make the industry more inclusive, democratising the access to it for potential future talents, or are they purely incentivised by the prospect of a higher profit prompted by the tokenism?
Having been a consumer of western media basically since birth, I witnessed a curious change in the narrativization of ethnically diverse characters. Being largely marginalised and underrepresented in film industry’s initial scope, nowadays diversity seems to from an important societal paradigm.
I think it is really important to shed some light on this topic, as Hollywood's movies are arguably one of the most widespread forms of entertainment for many people around the globe, thereby many derive their understanding of other races and cultures from this medium.
