Representation of ethnicity in U.S. debut TV series compared to population 2017-2019
Although 19 percent of the U.S. population in 2019 was Hispanic or Latino, only five percent of regular talent performing in debut TV shows were from this demographic. Comparing the size of racial and ethnic minorities in the United States population to the casts of television series, talent from American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander were all underrepresented.
