Darnell Hunt… heads the Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies and co-writes an annual report on Hollywood diversity.
“Hollywood was created by a largely Jewish-dominated group who fled New York because of anti-Semitism. The problem is the industry never really evolved with the demographics of this region.”
Aside from that hint, there’s nothing in this Times report that mentions that Hollywood remains a Jewish-dominated industry. Instead, all the talk is about the black, white, latino and asian. Nothing more about the Jewish/Gentile divide.
The one comment posted so far is smart: “A mode of opinion control softer than outright censorship is the current obsession with fictional role models. Today, the feminist and anti-racist theme is constantly worked into movies and television as examples of Bartold Brecht’s principle that the Marxist artist must show the world not as it is but as it ought to be. This is why we have so many screen portrayals of wise black judges; street-wise, straight-shooting lady policemen; minority computer geniuses; and, of course, degenerate white men. This is almost a direct borrowing from Soviet-style socialist realism, with its idealized depictions of sturdy proletarians routing capitalist vermin.”
