In a study done by the dean of social sciences at UCLA that looked at 234 original series across 18 platforms (including digital) for the 2016–2017 television season, only 14 percent of writers were from a minority group.* I also know my Latinx friends would love it if casting directors stopped assuming all Latinx people are Mexican. We don’t all sound and look the same! We don’t all know each other either. We’re not all on some secret Hollywood Latinx group text message chain…that you know of.
