feature: a new tumblr is showing how diversity is still one of hollywood’s biggest problems – ‘every single word spoken’

A new Tumblr is highlighting the disproportionate amount of white actors in Hollywood movies – ‘Every Single Word Spoken‘. Creator Dylan Marron, who is an actor himself, has edited some of the biggest mainstream films to show the amount of screen time given to non-white actors; posting the videos on his Tumblr. Hollywood’s lack of diversity grabbed headlines earlier in the year with the Oscars whitewashed nominations, and Marron’s Tumblr is showing just how bad the problem is – with people of color oftentimes the small supporting characters. See some of the videos below.
