This held true no matter the race of the child: for example, only 16 percent of Black children cast a Black actor as the hero. In a 2021 study, children aged nine to 12 who were asked how they would cast various roles were more than twice as likely to cast a White actor as the hero (52 percent, compared to 19 percent who would cast a Black actor and 12 percent who would cast an Asian actor) and more than twice as likely to cast a Black actor as poor. There is no question that entertainment media can have a profound effect on how young people see themselves and others.
