Explanation:

purpose of this short report is to overview character race/ethnicity in 100 top-

grossing fictional films theatrically released in the United States and Canada during

2008.

1

Every distinct speaking and named character is assessed for demographic and

appearance-related information. Categorization of race/ethnicity occurs by using all cues

available over the course of the unfolding narrative (i.e., verbal references, physical

features, clothing, geographic setting of the plot). Across the 100 films, a total of 4,016

characters could be evaluated for race/ethnicity. Four main findings are outlined below,

with particular attention paid to black characters and their relationship to black directors.

We end the report by comparing the current trends in black characters and black directors

to those observed across 100 top-grossing films released in 2007.

#1 Prevalence of Black Characters in Film On Par with U.S. Census

71.2% (n=2,859) of all speaking characters in the 100 top-grossing films from 2008 are

White, 13.2% (n=531) are Black, 7.1% (n=287) are Asian, 4.9% (n=198) are Hispanic,

2.8% (n=111) are Middle Eastern, and < 1% (n=30) are from other ethnicities. Table 1

compares the race/ethnicity of speaking characters in 2008 films to the composition of

race/ethnicity in the United States. As demonstrated in the table, the greatest deviation

occurs with Hispanics. Though Hispanics/Latinos/Mexicans represent 16.3% of the U.S.

B. Hispanics

I got it right quit making everything so confusing

the recent bombing of the uss cole is one of many incidents of terrorism directed against the united states. more than 40 percent of the world’s terrorism is directed against u.s. targets.   pursue the alleged perpetrators through the criminal justice system, and still others would beef up intelligence capabilities. to deal with potential attacks involving weapons of mass destruction, some analysts advocate extending the reach of law enforcement agencies or spending more on domestic preparedness programs; others would encourage a policy of u.s. military restraint overseas to attempt to reduce the motivation for terrorist attacks on u.s. targets.

the answer is mass marketing.
