Over the last few years, there has been a stronger representation of some minority groups, including women, African-Americans, the LGBT community, in the onscreen depiction. However, other minority groups, such as Latinos and Asian-Americans, have yet to progress as far. On one hand, we have critics and other viewers celebrate these cultural advances and then on the other hand, we have the crisis in Ferguson increasing racial tension in America and serving as a grim reminder that culture is further ahead than politics. Here, film serves as a great example.
