Eva Longoria called out mainstream media and Hollywood on Saturday for continuing to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about people of color. “The villainization of Black and brown people comes from the media. I mean news.
I mean all of this misinformation, especially during election cycles. Specifically, being Latino, we’re murderers and rapists and we’re like, ‘That’s not who we are,'” she said during the keynote conversation at the Produced By conference.Longoria was joined by Macro founder Charles D. King for the conversation, where the pair also discussed the importance of having producers of color making decisions about who is creating stories in the media, film and TV — and what they’re about.
“If the only thing that we’re ever seeing in movies and TV is the stereotypes and perpetuating those stereotypes, it educates other communities about us,” Longoria continued. “But most importantly, media informs ourselves of who we are, and that’s the problem. Our communities can’t look up and aspire to be and do more if all they see is ‘Narcos’ in TV and film.”King wholeheartedly agreed with her, explaining that since founding his production company in 2015 (which has financed films like “Mudbound” and “Judas and the Black Messiah”), he has seen firsthand the impact of uplifting creators from marginalized communities.
“The power of storytelling is real,” he said. “There’s real power in showing the full spectrum of our communities, the excellence of who we are, instead of the same marginalized stories. And these stories are being told authentically now from our community.
