Chris Rock Rips White Hollywood

In an essay for The Hollywood Reporter, Chris Rock tore apart Hollywood on the issue of race. When it comes to casting, he writes, black actors are never “in the mix.” There is either a black role or not. “It was never like, ‘Is it going to be Ryan Gosling or Chiwetel Ejiofor for Fifty Shades of Grey?’ And you know, black people f—, too,” he writes. “White women actually want to f— black guys, sometimes more than white guys. More women want to f— Tyrese than Jamie Dornan, and it’s not even close.” Rock also attacks the industry for how it treats Mexicans. “Is Hollywood Mexican enough? You’re in L.A, you’ve got to try not to hire Mexicans. It’s the most liberal town in the world, and there’s a part of it that’s kind of racist—not racist like “F— you, n—” racist, but just an acceptance that there’s a slave state in L.A.”
