She talks about the lack of diversity in Hollywood but...


... she has done multiple movies and shows and has never had a disabled person, an Asian person, a transgender person, a gay person or any other form of minority in a major role. Only black leads with white supporting actors.

I guess for her diversity is black leads and everyone else takes a back seat.
