The sad DGA report

Still not enough women and minorities directing Hollywood shows. And we wonder why so many actors look alike? It's 2011 and it's hard to tell we're not in antideluvian times if you watch network television.

From the report:
"The DGA analyzed more than 2,600 episodes produced in the 2010-2011 television season from more than 170 scripted television series. The report showed that Caucasian males directed 77% of all episodes; Caucasian females directed 11% of all episodes; minority males directed 11% of all episodes and minority females directed just 1% of all episodes. Among one-hour series, Caucasian males directed 80% of episodes, and in half-hour series, Caucasian males directed 74% of all episodes."
