[nolabballgirl]

yoooo! my fav, riz ahmed, has partnered with the usc annenberg inclusion initiative, the ford foundation and pillars fund, for an initiative on muslim representation in media! this looks so interesting, and is party based on findings from a usc conducted-study which discovered that of the top 200 movies released between 2017 and 2019, across: the us, uk, australia and new zealand:

less than 10% of top grossing films from 2017-2019 had a muslim character on screen

less than 2% of those characters had speaking roles

of those shown on screen, nearly one third of all muslim characters instigated violence across the plot and more than half of the characters were targeted by violence

even though many american muslims are black, the majority (66.7%) of muslim characters portrayed were middle eastern/north african, 20.8% were asian, 5.6% were black, 4.2% where white, and 2.8% were multiracial/ multiethnic

only 1 muslim character was identified as LGBTQ and only 1 muslim character had a disability

so clearly, there's so much more left to do, whether it's moving the needle away from showing muslim characters as violent, racially homogenous, or even showing them on screen, period. but at least they are putting together quite the brain trust: the advisory board for this new initiative includes mahershala ali, ramy youssef, lena khan, sana amanat, karim amer, rosa attab, nida manzoor, jehane noujaim, hasan minhaj, among others. these types of initiatives are so badly needed, i mean riz says it best here:

“Basically, Muslims only exist in the imagination as perpetrators or victims of violence. What does that do?...I would go so far as to say that this is a question of life and death. We’ve seen in some experiments that were run by the Department of Homeland Security, with students who are generally liberal-leaning, that if you show them footage of Muslims acting crazy and violent, then suddenly, the sample size will say, ‘You know what, yeah, let’s invade Iran, let’s put up a Muslim Ban.’ If you show them the opposite, guess what? People feel differently.

We’re at a time right now in India, in Kashmir, in Myanmar, in the United States, in the U.K, in China, where elected officials are saying crazy shit and passing very disgusting, discriminatory laws. We have armed extremists killing us in our homes, in our places of worship. We have state sponsored violence. When you dehumanize a group and you erase a group from our collective imagination, it’s a lot easier to dispose of them. And so the stories that we are telling on screen really affect — and this is something that we see in the report — the laws that get passed, the countries that get invaded, as well as the potential lost, as well as the hearts broken.” - Riz Ahmed (Variety, 2021)
