If there are to be real changes in just about any major industry, hollywood certainly included, people need to vote with their wallets. Don't support films that marginalize african americans or make stereotypes of them. Support writers, directors etc that provide a real to life realization in their work.

I was looking through HBO categories for movies the other day and "Gay and Lesbian" was a category. It sucks that this has to exist, just like it sucks that BET has to exist. Hopefully, someday our art really will reflect life and there will just be #thehumancondition channel. Why? Because we're all in this together; gay, black, white etc.

On a personal note, I'm half mexican and half german and I've never felt "white", I've never felt "hispanic". I don't fit in to any category and growing up I really struggled with that. I can see why black people, hispanics and even whites would want a self-identifying presence in film/tv. I think the point is that the "default" is white and therefore #whitegirlsrock is redundant. -Yes, you are already ubiquitous, we know.

I'm holding out for #germicanmenrock

humanodon, we've broached this topic before. Remember the post about asian's in film?
