Chris Rock on Hollywood: It’s a White Industry; It Just Is

Chris Rock is telling the truth these days. Earlier this week, he beat the internet through his comments on American race relations and his views on Megson Ferguson.

In an article reported in Hollywood, Locke has examined Lily White, an industry yet to accept people of color yet:

This is a white industry. Just like NBA is black industry. I have not said that this is a bad thing. That's right. The black people they hire are often the same person. That person is often a woman, who is often the Ivy League. This is not a mistake. In fact, this is the daughter I want. But there is something to tell me that the life that my privileged daughter is leading now may not make them the best candidate for black division. People who operate the black division of the studio should work with black people at some stage in their lives. Clint Culpepper [White studio director specializing in black movies] works very well with Screen Gems. Because he is a person who is really like going to see Best Man Holiday. But how many blacks did you see in Hollywood? They really do not hire black people. Do black men have bass in his voice, possibly facial hair? It will not happen. That's all. I am the one who accepted all of this.

Or is it a real detective? I have never heard that someone says "Amy Adams or Gabriel Union." I could not hear the name of a black girl in these lists. It is not one. Literally, as long as you are not a black man, everyone in the town will join. I have not seen that script yet, but if Gabriel Alliance is Colin Farrell's wife, I may tell you that it will not change. There are few black women in the movies. You can see the whole movie instead of a black woman. They will cast black people into bones. Okay, this is a black man. But is there a black woman on the star? Still leave the girl? Bird people? clear? neighbor? I do not know whether there is any. I do not remember. I go to the movies almost every week, but instead of seeing a black woman having the part to talk about in the movie, I can go for a month. This is the truth

As a person who worked in the industry and presented ideas to various production companies and television executives, I can confirm that Rock is not fake. So far, the biggest blow from Hollywood so far, when you are chosen to write a comedy about racial relations and micro impressions, the feedback you get is "racism discrimination Can I make it better? " Something is "too smart" for television because it does not cast black letters in typical races and baits.

The entertainment of Rocks and Shonda Rhimeses is a little way to open the way in their own way, but there are other writers and color producers trying to make someone recognize their work. When you can not get the recognition you deserve and you can not create the work you want to create, you need to open the way in your own way. Fortunately, thanks to the Internet, it has become easier for artists like Issa Rae and Black & Sexy TV.

Hollywood was criticized for ignoring Latin Americans. Chris Rock wrote an article about the diversity for the Hollywood Report in 2014 which got the attention of the film industry. "Please forget if Hollywood is dark enough," Rock wrote. "A better question: Is Mexico Hollywood sufficient? You are in Los Angeles, you have to avoid hiring Mexicans." One possible reason is Hispanic's own diversity, different regions and countries They are their unique culture and ethnicity from. From Venezuela to Spain activists say that it may be difficult to provide unified support for Latin American films, not to mention the cohesiveness of coordination in Hollywood practice.

Last year when the comedian's Chris Rock sponsored Oscar, his narration at the beginning tells the elephant in the room: Hollywood's whitewashed. Of course, because most of the participants are Caucasians, only a few people can laugh at Chris Rock's joke. They feel uncomfortable and should turn their fingers. It is as effective as labeling; everyone is offended, but no one can be serious. Anyway, why are they doing this? Hollywood formed a paper-like industry, it became it

It is a painful experience to see Oscar in 2016. Host Chris Rock had no chance to remember Hollywood 's leading star, the non - white candidate' s Best Award, and regretted the lack of opportunity for non - white actors. This is cruel but very necessary. It is a big problem if the most free industry in the so-called "developed countries" does not equally have opportunities to participate in all races. I have not even talked about fancy actors in Indian movies.
