But sheer quantity shouldn’t be mistaken for meaningful representation. When the roles offered to Black talent are disproportionately criminals, servants, sidekicks, comic relief, “magical negroes" and trauma-centered characters then representation hasn’t actually progressed—only diversified in superficial ways. These roles often reinforce harmful cultural narratives, regardless of how skilled the actors are.
