We are not surprised by this at all. Our mission was created to counter the very real bias that leads to this problem. We are committed to radically transforming who we cast by breaking open projects to be inclusive and representative of the world at large. Who we see matters.

Despite industry calls for diversity, white actors continue to get more roles with higher pay, than BIPOC actors, according to a new study. https://t.co/envNIU97Oh

X Casting started because of reports like @AapacNyc. We saw that BIPOC Casting Directors could have a hand in changing these numbers radically. This report is VITAL to our understanding of the field. “In the absence of data, we will always make up stories.” -@BreneBrown

[XCasting @XCastingNYC]

Anti-Racism has always been central to our core values. Our culture was created with BIPOC joy in mind, & our mission serves as a radical counterpoint to the tradition of casting by imagining new processes rooted in the resiliency and success of BIPOC actors. (Thread 2/3)
