Our research found that Asian American consumers1Data is limited to Asian American consumers only in the Consumer Expenditure Survey data set. Earn approximately 30 percent more in annual income, on average, compared with their peers of other races, and they spend less of their income (70 percent for Asian consumers versus 78 and 81 percent for White and Black consumers, respectively). And they spend even less of their income on film and television—approximately 0.4 percent compared with about 0.9 percent for White and Black consumers (Exhibit 1). Despite the abundance of content from the U.S. and abroad featuring API characters and storylines, more than two-thirds of API consumers are dissatisfied with the authenticity of their representation on screen; less than 30% feel properly represented in film and television. Additionally, projects focused on API characters and storylines are less likely to get the promotional resources needed to reach a broader audience, according to the report.

Our research demonstrates the film and television industry has several compelling reasons to champion API representation in front of and behind the camera. The reward for getting it right could be a windfall of billions of dollars in annual revenues—and the prize will only grow. Capturing this opportunity would require a broader shift among decision makers in how capital is allocated for projects. In 2023, McKinsey surveyed 1,000 API consumers in the United States to learn about their perceptions of representation. (For more information about the research and analysis, download the full report.) Survey results revealed that half of respondents would be willing to spend more money and time on film and TV if their experiences were represented more authentically. A closer look at spending habits uncovers significant disparities among groups of consumers.

Talent Resource Sports, which has worked with the home for the last few years curating events for A-List actors, sports stars, and top music artists, is currently gearing up to throw an epic Super Bowl 2022 event series that will be like nothing else in the world. The schedule of activations and parties will appeal to football fans and architecture aficionados alike (along with top-level executives and celebrities) who may be priced out of the tickets to the game itself. There’s also an outdoor catering kitchen, a fine dining area, as well as an outdoor media room. While this is an incredible amount of effort, it's also what makes attending an event a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. “There's no mistake where we're highlighting the city of Los Angeles in the background, and people are coming for this immersive experience where they can come and feel what it's like to be part of this Hollywood lifestyle for a minute. With the house having this incredible pedigree, all of the incredible shots that have happened here, the events that have happened here” says Spencer.

The Gold List

The greater percentage of animated shows is driven by a smaller percentage of dramas and nonscripted shows (for example, reality TV). Our survey also explored perceptions of authenticity and the willingness to spend both money and time on media. This sentiment was more pronounced among consumers aged 18 to 44, who represent a large portion of the rapidly growing population of API consumers. The US film and television industry has an unmatched influence on popular culture and broader attitudes.

Almost two-thirds of these films were API race-agnostic, with a substantial number of them being action and adventure films. As a result, fewer of the films seen by larger audiences told API stories or featured characters with API backgrounds. This report examines the entertainment industry through multiple lenses to identify the factors that could contribute to the underrepresentation of API professionals.

Gold House has also backed the Asian grocery delivery service Umami Cart, which announced $6 million in funding in December. Another, oft-overlooked issue Gold House immediately looked to tackle ties to the so-called bamboo ceiling, meaning the difficulty Asian Americans in the corporate world face in breaking through to upper management. While 33% of the tech industry is Asian, for example, Chen notes that only “single digits are in the C-suite,” a lopsidedness that he largely attributes to misperceptions about the success of Asian families. Four years ago, a nonprofit collective called Gold House was formed to advance the interests — and safety — of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent in the U.S. Given the country’s long history of anti-Asian racism, it was overdue, argues Bing Chen, a former Google product manager turned YouTube exec turned founder and investor who co-founded the organization.
