Analyzing more than 3,500 episodes produced in the 2013-2014 network television season and the 2013 cable season, the guild found that white males directed 69 percent of all episodes, while minority males directed 17 percent. White women directed 12 percent of all episodes, while minority females directed just 2 percent.
