quote:

Actress Tessa Thompson has said that she does not want to work with “bunch of white people” or men.

The star of Selma and the Creed franchise has said she does not wish to walk on set and have white males predominate either on screen or off.

Whether in front or behind the camera the actress, who plays the wife of Adonis Creed in the latest instalment of the boxing franchise, has insisted she wants to work on “inclusive” productions.

Speaking at the European premiere of Creed II she told the Press Association: “I don’t want to show up on set and just see a bunch of white people, no offence. And I don’t want to work in the company of a bunch of men. No offence.

Does she consider Jews white, because I have some bad news for her.

I have no problem with her saying this. I just wish men and white people could speak so freely.

At least she’s not hiding it. I’d love to see the results of substituting any other group for white.

M.P. Jordan already has an "inclusion" rider on his contracts. When he stars, the production has to be multi-everything.

It's what Frances McDormand was talking about it her Oscar speech.

Tessa needed to talk to Michael P before complaining.

well, she likes chicks so at least part of that isn't surprising.

Does she want to unnecessarily limit her work opportunities?

Because that's how you limit your work opportunities.

Her most successful movie starred Hemsworth, Hiddleston, Ruffalo, Goldblum, and Hopkins.

she needs to look at every single paycheck she has gotten in the industry and realized its all white people.

I had no idea who she was, probably a bunch who don't either. The pic might help.

I’m pretty skeptical of this source. The misspelling in the quote doesn’t help either

I'm guessing she means she doesn't want to see only white people and/or men, not that she wants to work with zero white people and/or men.

I hope that her comments were taken out of context or misconstrued. I like her as an actress. She was great as Valkyrie in Thor Ragnarok. Her British accent was spot on too.

I love the "no offence" behind the racism and sexism.

That's like saying "no offense, but you're a huge a-hole."

She's the gal on Westworld right?

Yeah, she's turning into a regular little miss #metoo SJW.

lulz

I fail to see the attraction.
