Dr. Darnell Hunt is pointing out that when it comes to increasing diversity and representation of minorities in Hollywood, the biggest motivating factor tends to be financial success, not social responsibility. His point is that Hollywood studios will embrace and promote more diverse casts and stories when it is financially advantageous – in other words, “the most important color is green, as in money”.

So unless films with minority leads and stories can demonstrate box office potential and profitability, meaningful representation will lag behind. His quote highlights that true inclusion and accurate cultural portrayal in the film industry is still often dictated more by monetary considerations than ethical ones.
