“Putting black casting on blast” is a 4-minute documentary video that analyzes the film and television industry’s morbid lack of diversity through tracing the problems to its roots—standards of casting. My sister Maya and I both act, we are accustomed to having to read for “urban” roles that utilize improper language to paint all of Black society in a way that does not reflect the majority of our population. With degrading phrases such as “All American” and “Girl Next Door”, the casting industry gets away with racism in saying “we can’t picture a non-white in this role”, but what’s even worse is the fact that “Female, 19” means “Female, 19 white” unless otherwise specified.
