The Minority Reporter

Virtually all non-White characters in mainstream movies fit within six common recurring character patterns, which we refer to as archetypes. These archetypes reflect and reinforce the marginalization of minorities in Hollywood. While White characters can also show behavior reflective of the six archetypes, the speakers outline the six prototypes that glamorize Whites and present them as "raceless" (i.e., mainstream) characters that appeal to all audiences. Armed with this critical framework, we analyze contemporary mainstream movies on an ongoing basis.

This is the report that Hollywood doesn't want you to see. You will never see movies the same way again.
