Danny Woodburn is challenging Hollywood. Inclusion and diversity are popular buzzwords in Hollywood these days. Despite the fuss and fury over social media hashtag #OscarsSoWhite, there's another group Hollywood has been ignoring for decades, and still continues to ignore. Danny Woodburn is accusing Hollywood of ignoring a fifth of the U.S. population. Woodburn is using social media to do it: the Huffington Post, Facebook, and Twitter.
Which minority is ignored the most in Hollywood, according to Danny Woodburn? Approximately 13 percent of the U.S. population is African-American. Roughly 17 percent of the United States is Hispanic. Over 56 million people -- 19 percent of Americans -- have a disability. People with disabilities are seldom considered when scriptwriters create characters and casting directors attempt to fill the roles. Woodburn wants to correct that.
