[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Racism is absolutely a problem in Hollywood and he brings up many good points that have been brought up before regarding treatment and pay of those who are not White.  However, something about that article just felt off to me. They almost made him come across a mix of whiny, angry, and entitled.   [/quote]

It's the NY Post. All their articles are like that. They aren't even reporting news here -- they are taking comments he made in an interview with another outlet out of context in order to stir up controversy and try and get people mad. "Hey this rich actor says he's poor and it's racism's fault! But he makes a lot more money than me!" But he didn't say he was poor and his argument was about how hard it can be for even a highly lauded black actor to find roles and work in Hollywood. It's a tough career for anyone but it is harder for black actors because of the racism of the industry (and, to some degree, audiences). It's hard. He's allowed to complain. [/quote]
