Time to dig into this race and Hollywood study by noted social justice warriors..checks notes...@mckinsey (Yes, a joke)

Headline is obviously that Hollywood is losing $10B per year by not optimizing for the economics of Black talent but THERE'S MORE (1/x) deadline.com/2021/03/mckins…
A lot more. But yes, "By addressing the persistent racial inequities [re: the Black community], the industry could reap an additional $10 billion in annual revenue—about 7% more than the assessed baseline of $148 billion"
"The few Black creatives in prominent off-screen positions (creator/producer/writer/director) find themselves responsible for providing for other Black off-screen talent. Unless >=1 senior member of a production is Black, Black talent is largely shut out" mckinsey.com/Featured-Insig…
