LOS ANGELES — Despite efforts made by Hollywood movie studios to diversify talent following George Floyd's murder three years ago, people of color remain underrepresented in films, going by the latest numbers.
In fact, in some aspects, the diversity stats last year fell behind 2019 levels.
White people represented 78% of the lead actors in the top movies released in theaters in 2022, up from 72.4% in 2019, according to the newest UCLA Hollywood Diversity Report, which was released Thursday.
