Yeah. That's one of the things that keeps the racist and sexist structures around casting in place, and also sinks the careers of a lot of child actors before they can really grow into their talent.

Assume that you have a 5% chance of getting lucky with a given role, where it's in something really good that people like, that showcases you well. And now assume that you have to get lucky twice to have a lasting career. Already the odds aren't good. Now assume that, as a child actor, you have to hit those two roles within specific, narrow timeframes. Or, as a non-white-guy actor, that you're less likely--even 10% less likely--to even have a shot at those roles. The chances of a great career have just dropped from bad to abysmal.

It doesn't take a conspiracy of systematic oppression to keep these structures in place; just a little bit of unthinking prejudice, a little stupidity, and the already-punishing mathematics of showbiz become impossible to survive.

the already-punishing mathematics of showbiz...that you made up!

Look, your original point was good, but the fake math didn't help it at all. Worse, it devalued it because then I'm left to wonder a.) if you made anything else up and b.) how much you really know what you're talking about.

If you want to be persuasive/help an argument, don't use made up "facts."
