Actor Idris Elba is the latest celeb to speak out on his thoughts pertaining to the lack of diversity in Hollywood and has joined Jada Pinkett Smith and Spike Lee in the Oscars boycott conversation.
The 43 year old Luther star, spoke with Parliament on Monday, January 18, about the lack of diversity in the entertainment industry.
“We need to count up what everybody has, see the lay of the land, see who has which careers in TV, who makes TV, who’s allowed on TV,” he said, addressing the British leaders. “You have to ask the question, ‘Are black people always playing petty criminals? Are women always the love interest or always talking about men? Are gay people always stereotyped? Are disabled people ever seen at all?’”
He continued:
“The reason I went to America is because the USA has the most famous diversity policy of all, and it’s called the American dream,” he told Parliament. “The problem is the gap between the dream and the reality … to champion diversity is to champion the American dream. That’s the guarantee I want here in Britain. Where’s the British dream?”
“The TV world helps shape our real world, but when we look out of the window, none of us really live on Downton Abbey.”
Except he was talking about the lack of diversity in BRITAIN. Not the US. He praised the American entertainment industry, ergo this isn’t Idris Elba “joining the Oscar conversation”.
