Spike Lee: White Hollywood Execs ‘Better Get Smart’ Because They’ll Be Minority Soon

Big Hollywood reports:

Spike Lee picked up an honorary Oscar at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences annual Governors Awards on Saturday, and used his acceptance speech to blast the lack of diversity in Hollywood — and issue a warning to white entertainment industry executives.

“Everybody in here probably voted for Obama but when I go to offices, I see no black folks except for the brother man at the security who checks my name off the list as I go into the studio,” Lee said, according to E! “So we can talk ‘yabba yabba yabba’ but we need to have some serious discussion about diversity and get some flavor up in this. This industry is so behind sports it’s ridiculous.”

“I don’t know if you noticed,” the director continued, “but the United States census bureau says by the year 2043, white Americans are going to be the minority in this country. And all you people out there in the position of hiring, you better get smart because you’ll work for us. Reflect what this country looks like.”
