Kenenkäänhän ei ole pakko katsoa minuuttiakaan netflixiä jos se noin ahdistaa. Itsekään en ole pariin vuoteen aktiivisesti katsonut. Silti, sieltä löytää takuulla ihan helkkaristi herkkäperseiselle valkoihoiselle heteromiehelle sopivaa matskua. Tuijottaa sitten vaikka pelkästään vanhoja Trailer Park Boyseja, Frendejä, Miehenpuolikkaita ja Eastbound and Downia jos moninaisuus ahdistaa.
vakavavammin, niin tuolta löytyy ihan numeroita Netflixin mädätyksestä. Kannattaa myös muistaa, että yhdysvalloissa asuu muitakin kuin valkoihoisia miehiä, vaikka se jostain suomalaisen insinöörin näkökulmasta voi kuulostaakin uskomattomalta:
Netflix outperformed industry peers in key metrics when it came to diversity and inclusion. But the LGBTQ community and people with disabilities were underrepresented, according to a USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.

”The percentage of leads and coleads in Netflix shows and movies from underrepresented groups rose from 26.4% in 2018 to 37.3% in 2019. During those two years, Netflix’s percentage of nonwhite leads and coleads in movies (35.7%) was greater than the 100 top-grossing box office films during the same period of time (28%).
Some groups were better represented than others. Black and African American people were 18.9% of speaking characters in film and 16% in TV series, compared to 13.4% of the population.
But Latinos were far behind, with 5.9% of speaking parts in movies and shows despite being 18.5% of the population. Behind the camera, just one film director and 2.7% of TV creators were Latino.
The study also found that women of color from specific groups were absent from much of Netflix’s content. Latinas were not seen in 72.2% of Netflix films, while 56.3% lacked Asian women and girls. In series, Latinas were nowhere to be seen in 65.6% of shows, and 42.2% were missing Asian women.
Broadly, women were proportionately represented in Netflix movies and shows with 52% of stories driven by women and girls on camera, though just 38.8% of all speaking characters identified as female.
In film and TV, 2.3% of Netflix content had LGBTQ leads or coleads
