2. Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union expressed her opinion during the Sundance Film Festival, saying “I think Shonda Rhimes said it best. She said, ‘I’m not a trailblazer for casting my shows like reality.’ Diversity isn’t brave. It’s not a fad. It’s reality. . . . If you look around the room it’s pretty diverse, and everyone should have a place at the table. It’s representation. It’s seeing your face reflected. I think if you see who runs Hollywood it’s a very homogeneous group and they like to see themselves reflected.”
However, once Stacy Dash came out with her BET comments, Union made sure to make her opinion loud and clear. “Who is Stacey Dash?” Union said to the Associated Press. “The more that we focus on inclusion and a true representation of this country, I think that crazy lady will have less to say.”
