The more things change, the more they stay the same

Are actresses of color not worthy of having discussions about the wage gap, sex scenes etc.? Do better @THR https://t.co/YNvoviZ1jJ

Like how in 2015 can you have a discussion about actresses and not include a Viola, a Kerry, a Taraji, a Gina Rodriguez etc. Shameful @THR

You literally have to go out of your way to not be diverse in 2015 & its not even diversity, it's reflecting what the real world looks like.

Actresses of color are paid even less than their white male and white female counterparts. That's a real discussion to have...

Reminder @THR the pay issue affects women of color even more than it affects white women. Maybe talk to some. https://t.co/mLD3ugOctm

.@THR - WOC in Hollywood make less than their white counterparts. It would have been nice to hear their options on the topic of pay gap.

The only thing whiter than the Oscars are @THR roundtables.

This excuse tho--->THR explains its 'appalling' all-white actress cover cnnmon.ie/1YgzVKc via @CNNMoney

If the idea is placing blame of the Academy, why not be a game changer and do a feature on why WoC in Hollywood aren't being nominated?

As a large media conglomerate @THR you have an active role of holding the industry's feet to the fire by reporting the systemic problems
