Every Single Word Spoken is a site highlighting the lack of diversity in films and shows. It does this with math.
For instance:
Total runtime of all Nancy Meyers-directed movies: 12 hours and 43 minutes.
Total run time of POC speaking in NM-directed movies: 5 minutes and 23 seconds.

Total POC characters: 30.
Total POC characters with no name: 20.
Total POC characters that work in the service industry/assistance: 19.
Total POC characters whose actions affect the storyline: 1.
Number of lines that one character has: 4
