Jay Ellis on Insecure-who had to HIDE the fact his wife was a white woman while he was on that show.
People want to say hire the best person for the job-until it's NOT a straight white male or ESPECIALLY if a black person gets hired. Read Maulik Pancholy's The Best At It.
Then we get issues from various sides.
Hire the best person-will get many Queer actors and folks PASSED over. Especially those of color. With many of them not even getting a CHANCE to audition.
When the complaints come about a lack of Queer roles-studio will fire back-"yall said hire the BEST person. We did and they are straight-stop crying."
"But the source material has that person as Queer"
"Yall said hire the BEST person."
"But..."
"Hired the best person."
When it comes to Queer roles-I would want someone who is openly Queer in that role. I am not giving that casting agency a chance to pass ANYONE over.
I am done with hire the best person-to many times it meant straight white male.
