\n Hollywood is casting more light-skinned actors for major roles in movies<\/a> to appeal to Chinese audiences following the Communist Party allowing more foreign films in the country, according to a report on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Since 2012, US filmmakers apparently became aware of the aesthetic preferences of Chinese movie-goers \u2014 who place a higher premium on light skin \u2014 a practice known as colorism, Axios reported, citing a 2017 study.<\/p>\n

The researchers concluded that Hollywood is not only influenced by Chinese censors but by cultural preferences, as well.<\/p>\n

The study, \u201cImpacts of Chinese Colorism on Hollywood Castings\u201d published by Johns Hopkins University, looked at 3,000 films between 2009 and 2015 and discovered that the flicks made after 2012 showed an 8 percent increase in the number of light-skinned actors in starring roles.<\/p>\n

That means that \u201cfor 1 of every 3 films in this category, the film went from having 2 out of 3 as very light-skinned actors, to having 3 out of 3 very light-skinned actors,\u201d which the study\u2019s authors termed \u201clight-skin shift.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shift happened in summer blockbusters and action movies that the Chinese government allows Chinese film-goers to see and that are created by Hollywood with the Chinese market in mind.<\/p>\n

Other films, like horror and comedy movies \u2014 that aren\u2019t produced with the Chinese market\u2019s preferences taken into account \u2013didn\u2019t show the same shift.<\/p>\n

The study\u2019s author said a promotional poster for \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d in 2015 that minimized a black actor in the lead role, leading to racism allegations, prompted the examination.<\/p>\n

\u201cColorism does not equate to racism. There may be significant variation in skin tones within races, and colorism may manifest within individuals of the same race,\u201d Manuel Hermosilla and the other co-authors wrote.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
