Hollywood figures are calling for...
Roast swan? A pet yak in their trailer every night?
...more diversity in hair and makeup departments on sets, after Black actors came forward about their experiences of racism including being told there was no budget to cut hair of their type.
Oh...apparently, this is a thing now. Racist hairstyling. Who knew?
Camille Friend, a top stylist who has worked on Black Panther, Tenet and Captain Marvel, said hair stylists who don’t know how to work with Black hair should not be working on film or TV sets.
Even if the show has no black actors?
Friend also believes the actors’ union needs to make the necessary changes as they hold much of the power. “[The Screen Actors Guild] is a very powerful union and they have the power to change the rules for their actors of color,” she said.
“They can require Black actors to have a say in who is hired for hair and makeup departments, including barbers. This should be a requirement.”
Let me guess - one of those people they'd then insist on would be...you?
Judging by the number of hair products designed for black people having to be locked away in display cabinets to prevent shoplifting, there must be a shedload of potential black stylists out there, waiting for 'the day'.
ReplyDeleteI see a Hollywood celebrity idiot opened her mouth about this just yesterday, and let her brains fall out...
DeleteOne can imagine the reticence of hair stylists to work with the hair of Black people without experience is the risk of lawsuits should anything go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the law is racist now then as it "forces" people to discriminate?
If you can be forced to bake a cake... 😂
