Every Single Word : ウィキペディア英語版 | Every Single Word Every Single Word (Spoken by a Person of Color) is a Tumblr blog and YouTube channel that features videos on all the lines spoken by people of color (POC) in both contemporary and classic films. Created by Dylan Marron, the videos are an attempt to highlight the lack of casting and involvement of POC in Hollywood produced films, in addition to highlighting his own experiences in attempting to be cast in films as a Venezuelan American. The reasons for such low amounts of casting of POC in films is stated by Marron to be about fear, because the "people who finance the movies are not going to want to throw millions behind a movie of a non-famous person of colour." In addition, default casting for films, even for works or scripts with no specified races for the characters, is to choose white actors. The film ''The Fault in Our Stars'' by John Green is noted by Marron as a work with no races given for the characters and one that has had worldwide success in its book form, but the main cast for the film were chosen by the producing studio to be entirely white. Manohla Dargis, writing for ''The New York Times'', noted that Marron's videos show that even when POC are cast in films, they are often cast in stereotypical roles that function as tokenism for the casting quota. ''The Boston Globe'' compared Marron's videos with other statistics presented in the "2015 Hollywood Diversity Report", which showed that scriptwriters and directors are also rarely POC, along with lead roles in films. Several celebrities have praised and shared the blog with their fans, including Aziz Ansari, Junot Diaz, Kerry Washington,〔 and Chirlane McCray.〔 ==History== Marron began producing the video cuts in June 2015 and the popularity of the blog began to increase soon after beginning the project. The idea for the blog came after Marron started a play titled "Every Single Word" for his theater group, called the ''New York Neo Futurists'', which involved a large amount of short play pieces by different members. Marron's act consisted of him saying every line by Angelah Johnson-Reyes in ''Enough Said''. In 2014, while re-watching the film, he realized that the writer was unable to view POC as separate from service jobs and caused him to form his act for the group. This act eventually led to his investigation of other films and the creation of his video cut blog.
