Data in Policy Debate: Diversity and Racism in the Oscars

Hispanics/Latinos: They are far less likely to be actors than other races, by population. Of the Hispanic/Latino acting population, they are slightly less likely to get cast in a film. Of those castings, they are approximately proportionally likely to get an Oscar nomination, but slightly less likely to win.(…)
Asians: Asian actors and film roles are approximately proportional to their population, but then there is a very sharp decline. They are proportionally very unlikely to be cast in a top role or given an Oscar nomination, and in that 16-year period have never won an Oscar.
