Comment on Emmy Nominations Lacking in Diversity by Anna Pinkert

The section of this article titled “The Numbers” has some recent statistics: http://www.backstage.com/bso/news-and-features-news/is-the-tv-screen-fading-to-white-1003990001.story The NAACP and the SAG both did studies relatively recently. The most damaging statistic: Fox dropped from 98 non-white characters in the 02-03 season to 51 in the 07-08 season. I remember hearing that when the fall lineup for last year was announced, the only new show with an African American character in the lead role was the Cleaveland Show (the animated Family Guy spinoff). I haven’t been able to track down the specific article that said that, but I hope someone else can. . .

[...] Have an interesting story. The thing I like most about P*Star is that she has a story. She grew up in poverty with a heroine-addicted mother and cocaine-selling father. Her father cleaned up his act and took her in, teaching her how to rap. She had her first gig when she was 6, was signed to a record contract at 10, and now has a leading role on PBS’s revival of The Electric Company. Find some things, or a series of things that make people go, “Cool!” [...]

That’s a good question. I know that the percentage is way off from the population as a whole, but I don’t know where in the chain things start to deviate. Anyone have numbers on this?

Here’s a question I don’t have an answer to: how does the percentage of non-white-men nominated compare to the percentage of non-white-men in the casts overall?

Not that it’d make the situation any better, really, but perhaps the fault here lies, at least in part, with the casting directors, rather than the Emmy nominators. At the least, I’d be curious to know the numbers.

Kate – oooh, good article! And I agree, it’s getting harder and harder to enjoy experiences when you have all these ways to document them as they’re happening.

KJ – Amanda Palmer is definitely on the “dream interview” list – as is Trent Reznor, who has been light years ahead of the game when it comes to using social networking to connect with fans.
