This week saw the release of The 2015 Hollywood Diversity Report by Darnell Hunt, director of the UCLA Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies. The results were not available at press time, but Hunt recently hinted that his latest data will reveal that the industry hasn't improved much since his 2014 analysis, which showed that out of 172 movies and more than 1,000 television shows, about one in 10 leading roles in films went to minorities, and about one in 20 leading roles in scripted television went to people of color. This, in a county where half the population is Latino. This, in a state where Latinos have surpassed whites as the largest racial-ethnic group. This, in a nation that's one-third nonwhite.

In fact, because of the so-called browning of the nation, "The gap between where the industry is and where America is has actually grown," Hunt says.
The business is changing slowly, but the barriers remain steep. "The problem is the agencies, the casting directors, the film studios — the executives in all parts of the entertainment industry," says Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the L.A.-based National Hispanic Media Coalition.
