https://www.reuters.com/article/us-film-asians/study-finds-asians-largely-invisible-in-hollywoods-top-films-idUSKCN2CZ1GY
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -Aside from action star Dwayne Johnsons hit movies, Hollywoods most popular films have rarely featured Asians or Pacific Islanders in leading roles on the big screen, according to an academic study released on Tuesday. The findings showed an epidemic of invisibility for Asians and Pacific Islanders (API) in movies released from 2007 to 2019, said the study from researchers at the University of Southern Californias Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. They also said the under-representation and stereotypical portrayals may have contributed to recent incidents of violence and harassment against Asians in the United States. About 7.1% of the U.S. population identifies as Asian or Pacific Islander. In the 1,300 top-grossing films during the study period, 3.4% of leads or co-leads were played by API actors, the researchers found. Of 44 films with API actors in leading roles, 14 of them starred Johnson, the former wrestler known for the Fast & Furious and Jumanji films. Johnsons mother is from the Pacific island of American Samoa. Six movies featured a female API character in a lead role, the study said... ...While the study found the number of API characters lacking, the researchers also criticized the way many of them were portrayed. Sixty-seven percent of API characters were shown as the perpetual foreigner with a non-American accent, were hyper-sexualized, subject to racial slurs or fell into another stereotype, the researchers said. Mass media is one factor that can contribute to aggression towards this community, said USC professor Stacy L. Smith, founder and director of the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. When portrayals erase, dehumanize, or otherwise demean the API community, the consequences can be dire. Without intention and intervention, the trends we observed will continue. The study was conducted by the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative with sociologist Nancy Wang Yuen. It was funded by Amazon Studios and the UTA Foundation. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think hollywood racism is a related issue, and it's certainly feasible that it might have an effect on violence. but I think it's pretty sketchy to try to attribute that without some form of data that actually suggests a causal relationship

Yes, there have been entire textbooks written about how Hollywood has always perpetuated racism by casting minority actors in stereotypical roles and often as antagonists or at best sidekicks to the protagonist.
The recent rash of violence against Asian Americans though can probably be directly attributed to the GOPs fearmongering about the China virus. --- "If you wanna grow your business you need to exploit more." ~Austin_Era_II "Out of those two?

Every Asian male has to be a martial arts master, but showing basic human compassion and being intimate is just too far-fetched. --- ...I think I'm done here... ... Copied to Clipboard!

Then why is that the people largely responsible for the recent wave of Asian attacks 1) waited a year to do all this, and 2) aren't Trump supporters. --- Playing: The Outer Worlds, Monster Hunter Rise PM me for an invite to CryptoFAQs, my crypto discord. ...

Personally I think it is racist and xenophobic of all these articles complaining about lack of asian representation in hollywood movies when there are entire movie industries outside of Hollywood. I watch plenty of movies with all Asian casts and none of them were made in Hollywood. Like they just totally dismiss all movies made outside of america and refuse to acknowledge that Asia has a thriving movie industry. How about promoting some of the great movies that come from the various asian countries instead of acting like Hollywood is the only place that makes movies.

How about promoting some of the great movies that come from the various asian countries instead of acting like Hollywood is the only place that makes movies. I have a feeling you're missing the total point of the article. The article doesn't feature Bollywood or Chinese markets, because it's not the focus. There are thriving movie industries outside of America, but they get almost negative airtime and press over here. This leads to pigeonholing minorities into racial and ethnic stereotyping. How many Asian movies shown in Western markets are comedies, romance, or drama? No, they're almost always hyper violent action movies. This hurts them in North America. --- Face it Cloud is a gaming icon and has appered in lots of games while mario has only appeared in 2 games sunshine and 64~xSlashbomBx ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why aren't gingers being attacked at a huge rate? They are getting removed from movies and have an even less representation in movies than Asians. Therefore this article is wrong.

I'm all for diversity and inclusion. Hollywood has had a few movies and shows with Asian leads, but more could be done.
It's funny how, back in the 90s, you could get movies and shows with Asian leads. Whereas today, you get the whole "there aren't any name actors in X demographic." Like, fucking make them.

It was obvious underrepresentation in mainstream media and stereotyping of minority characters can lead to ugly results in the real world, much like how the saturation of violence in video games can contribute to something like gun violence.
