Race and Gender within the Entertainment Industry

The issue about gender and equal pay has been a topic for many years now. It is a known fact that female actresses get paid less than male actors do. Even in business, outside of the entertainment industry, this is the same issue. 

In regards to race, this has been a rising discussion since the very beginning of times. Over the years there has been more inclusive and diversive cast members. For example, Crazy Rich Asians is an all Asian cast. Miss Juneteenth is an all Black cast. It’s a recent revelation and Hollywood still has a long ways to go to create a more inclusive and equal environment for the talents. 

Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
