Are Hollywood execs racist, sexist? Probably.  
It will be interesting to see how it plays out in the media.

Is almost everyone in the world racist? Probably, to some extent.  
Anyway, you don’t have to be black to like The Butler and 12 Years a Slave. They were quality movies.

Yes, there is racism in most groups--sexism, too, and the need to put others down in order to feel confidence--even false confidence. It will play put in the media as it always does, it will cause some noise and then it will dissipate. Lois
