The Impact of Typecasting

What does it mean to be typecast and how does typecasting perpetuate stereotypes in the media and society? This week, I interview Nancy Wang Yuen - scholar and author of the book "Reel Inequality: Hollywood Actors and Racism." Her data dives deep into inequities in Hollywood as well as how structural racism plays out in films.
