For decades, Hollywood has been toying around with the idea of diversity. It has approached the concept with cautious curiosity, poking and prodding it like a test subject prepped for experimentation, but has only recently begun to fully commit to the promises it’s been making to diversity. It’s not entirely Hollywood’s fault. After all, Hollywood started out as entertainment geared towards a specific demographic of people (white males), and has always been in part a reflection of America’s ideals and beliefs.
It’s taken trial and error, but after decades’ worth of stereotypes, cliches, and generalizations, Hollywood has learned to showcase all kinds of people from all walks of life while respecting their backgrounds.
