I work in the film industry, in costumes.
I remember sitting in a meeting a few years ago, casting extras for a major feature film. We were going down the list of scenes, all very routine, discussing what type of people should be in the background for each one: A 50-50 male-female split at the café -- no problem. Older crowd at the charity benefit, fine.
Then we made it to a scene in a fictional paralegal's office, and someone said "This would be a really great spot for an Asian." The whole room erupted in a murmur of agreement.
"SUCH a great idea!" I heard.
"Yes, what a great chance to add some diversity," someone else said.
It was routine, nothing egregious about it, just everyday stuff. No one said anything. No one even noticed.
Except me, the only person of color in the room.
