The increase in diversity within the entertainment industry has had an effect on Broadway. With the Asian American Performers Action Coalition's reporting that for the 2016-2017 season 29% of all roles on New York stages going to people of color.

Regarding independent media, people of color have gained popularity, building unique audiences and garnering millions of views through targeted content.
