Matt McGorry Instagram – Repost via @arijmikati . Love the work my brilliant friend Arij did on this! 💖✨💖 ・・・ “I’m thrilled to finally share data with the world that proves what Muslims have long known to be true, and even more thrilled to provide the solutions and accountability to change it. With the #Emmys around the corner, now is the perfect time to examine whose stories get told on-screen. Today @inclusionists released important new research on Muslims on TV. “Erased or Extremists” examines 200 top-rated series in the U.S., U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, capturing how Muslims are depicted on the small screen. Their findings show that only 1.1% of speaking characters were Muslim, despite the fact that Muslims make up nearly 25% of the world’s population. Researchers also found that TV depictions of Muslims were often violent, a harmful stereotype that Muslim storytellers worldwide are working to debunk.
