Headline: Issa Rae hits out at Hollywood's 'narrow' view of Black people
Caption:
The Barbie actress has spoken out against systemic racism and a lack of opportunity for Black professionals within the movie and TV industries. "You're seeing so many Black shows get cancelled, you're seeing so many executives... get canned," Issa told Porter magazine. "You're seeing very clearly now that our stories are less of a priority." Issa, who also starred in American Fiction and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in 2023, explained she partly attributes the decreasing diversity in Hollywood storytelling to the rise of streaming services and its algorithmic drivers.
