Sony Producer Says Black Actors Shouldn't Have Lead Roles Because International Audiences Are Racist

An unnamed producer wrote in an email to Sony chairman Michael Lynton that films with black actors  using Denzel Washington in The Equalizer as an example  don’t perform well because the international audiences are “racist,†according to documents found in the Sony hack.

The producer suggested that the two-time Oscar winner should not star in big-budget films as the international audience will not accept him in a leading role because of his race.

“I believe that the international motion picture audience is racist  in general pictures with an African American lead don’t play well overseas," the producer wrote in an Oct. 27 e-mail.

The Equalizer grossed about $191 million worldwide. Approximately $90 million was earned overseas. The producer said this figure would have been higher if a black man wasn’t in the lead role.

I was being ironic. Look at the recent thread about Azealia and white guilt and all the people saying it has nothing to do with them.
