Different posts have discussed Disney movies. Which these made me think about movies and actors/actresses in general. When looking at the top actors/actresses I found that they are mainly white. I started looking up the top actors and I found a website that listed top fifty actors, and only around five were non whites. The same site gave the top fifty actresses, and once again only around five were not white. This website may not be completely accurate but my guess it is pretty close. It just makes me think about how disproportionate that is. Most movies that I can remember are mainly with white main actors (I have seen a lot that aren’t, just they are mainly white). I have never thought of this, but it just seems so weird to me. I guess you think you would find a pretty much even number, but it’s about for every 9 top actors/actresses that are white, there is only 1 that is nonwhite. Also it made me think and I cannot think of more than a few movies that I have seen with interracial couples. It just struck me as weird that with interracial marriages on the rise, they would begin to be more represented in movies.
