New Report: Hollywood continues to ignore Diversity


UCLA's Ralph Bunche Center for African American Studies released its 2014 Hollywood Diversity Report the other day. Oh, and if you are having a bad day, don't read this yet.

The results are not cute at all— especially, for women and minorities. Then, when you get into the race breakdown, you may need a two piece and a cocktail.

Here are just a few of the results:

Show creator share: Asian=0% (n=96) Black=3.1%, Latino=1%, White=95.8%
