Kerry Washington: Hollywood's diversity crisis centers on whiteness

The Grapevine

“When we say we’re committed to diversity, it’s diverse from what?” Washington said on the podcast Hollywood, The Sequel. “We’re still centering whiteness as the most important thing and inviting diversity around that...When we talk about inclusivity, there’s still an in and an out. So, we’re still centering certain kinds of people and maybe in tiny fractions allowing other people to the table. There’s just so much of it that needs to be reexamined.”
