Glasses Make Me Sexy Locs Make Me Dangerous Shirt, hoodie, tank top
A couple of weeks ago, I was interviewed for a video commemorating a diversity event I moderated back in 2018. To prep me, the organization sent me a list of questions.
“What does diversity mean to you?” “Why does diversity matter?” “Have we made any progress?” “What would you like to see happen next?”
A few days later I was sitting in front of my computer, the red “recording” light blinking in the corner of the Zoom screen, and telling the interviewer that under no circumstances was I going to answer the first two. If someone doesn’t understand what diversity is and why it matters, I said, they need to be fired immediately.
We started this latest diversity movement in TV more than 20 years ago, and so far, the progress has been slow to excruciatingly nonexistent. For every executive of color promoted, many more are held back or denied advancement. For every show developed by a writer of color, so many more are passed on. We know the acting talent is out there, but it continues to be overlooked and the ratios are still terrible. UCLA’s 2020 Hollywood Diversity Report notes Latinos accounted for less than 7% of the leading roles in broadcast, cable and streaming, and Asians less than 4%.
What I want to know is, “Why are we still asking remedial questions?”
And that right there is how this interview became less of a polite Q&A and more of a rant.
Suddenly I heard myself railing about Asian and Latino representation. I paraphrased a book I’d read called “This Is an Uprising,” about how it takes years for a social movement to take hold. Before same-sex marriage became law in the U.S., decades of work went into “normalizing” gay relationships.
By those calculations, we’re light-years behind on Asian representation. “We are kidding ourselves if we don’t correlate the lack of Asians on-screen with the rise in hate crimes against the AAPI community,” I said. “When was the last time we saw an Asian lead who wasn’t doing martial arts?”
We know what we know. The field is not level. The question is: How do we fix it? We can start all of the programs we want, but we still need to address the fundamental problem that lies underneath. The system is biased.
