- This was SO fierce. 💃
Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy giving it straight to the crew of Porter magazine at their own roundtable shoot. 😂
This round table included Gina Rodriguez, Gabrielle Union and Emma Roberts, and they spoke about the pay gap, gender equality and diversity among other subjects. It's such a must-watch 🙏
On a personal note, I showed this to a established stylist that has consistently worked at Porter magazine and his reaction was: Yep. That Porter office is very... white. 😬
Actually, there have been studies at major universities on this topic. Like the ones on how if a person’s name on a resume looked ethnic opposed to a person with a white looking name, the resume with the white looking names got calls for interviews more than the ones with ethnic names. Researchers would create identical resumes but just change the names on them.
And over and over again, the same results happened, resumes with white looking names keep getting calls for interviews more than ones with ethnic names. Goggle it, it’s a real thing.
There you go!
I wonder......my name is Nicole but I am a full blown Hispanic. Fluent in English Spanish 2nd generation immigrant
😂😂😂
My name is Melissa everyone can say it right before they see me. Somehow after they see that I’m brown they start to enunciate my name different.
@@melibertine2845I never thought of Melissa being "white" that's my sister's name and she's Hispanic. Lol
@@s.r6331Hispanic is any color. I’m white and Hispanic so Melissa is a white name than for a white girl, I guess… at least that’s what I think of when I hear the name Melissa
Unless you’re is black than I guess what you said makes sense but yeah, Hispanic can be any race… or more so color. This is why race is dumb because anyone can be anything depending on their color skin but your ethnicity makes you a little more individual
Her kids are mixed race theybare people of color so she's not doing this for PR nor to get accolades , she is speaking up to make the world better for them in the future and she means every word she says , bravo 👏 Ellen, couldn't love you more
Did the cast of Grey’s Anatomy look like the world she walks around in? Probably, all white except the help is black & brown 😂😂😂😂 She literally just insulted blacks & said they are incapable of achievement, the white man dictates their place at the table
Malcolm X was right - you’re a sellout to your race & a fool if you believe the white liberal
I didn’t …thank you
For that insight
Why does her breeding with a non white matter at all?
Ok you know what , I was initially suspicious of her motives in saying this until I saw your comment . It makes more sense now why she said that . Thank you for sharing that btw
lol she messed up
ELLEN with that hoarse/scratchy voice ALWAYS has or says the most phenomenal things.
Ellen is amazing & hopefully one day more woman along with men think just like she does.🤙🏽
She just made the most racist, white supremacist statement ever. That somehow whites control it all & we determine the proper number of blacks to be in a room. What bit of democrat slave owner nonsense is that?
So, judge based on color of skin vs content of character & only see color. Nice - you have a white pointy hat too considering you don’t think blacks are capable of getting into the discussion unless a white person says so🤡
The light is so bright, the shade can't even reach.
Gabrielle Union stifling her, “Yes, queen!” slays me.
Kind of like yes a master ma’am, I’z sure appreciate you
What a joke - Grey’s Anatomy, cast was pretty vanilla yet the help was black & brown…sounds about right for Democrats going back to their roots as slave owners. This was the most patronizing, disgusting display of white supremacy with how white people determine the racial makeup in a room🤢🤮
Who gives a crap what daddy Gabby has to say? She turned another woman’s son into a girl for her own damn clout. She doesn’t give a crap about color diversity, she’s sold her stepson’s soul to pay for her career. 😒
Gabrielle union is an idiot and not one to put your standards up to….
Cringe
She said this room need seasoning 😂
LEGIT, hahahaha
Yeah, because whites are boring and blacks are cool.
Word!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
She's not only a phenomenal actress but a phenomenal human being
@@dawnc4381go take a hike
Eh, I wouldn't give her THAT much credit. It's praising someone in her position doing the bare minimum.
@@akikom1331
She's not talking to look good, she's talking on behalf of her own family, her husband is black
@@Dani-so5mgSo? He’s not a black woman in the production business who needs a job. She says this so you’ll remember she’s married to a black man and applaud her. For what? For marrying a black man instead of a white man? How does that make her words sincere? This is so performative .
Phenomenal? Bc she admonished someone with her privilege? All she did was say something she knew was pc on camera, for praise. Smh 🤦🏽♀️ The world is brain dead 💀 Also Caucasian is people from Caucus, not white Americans.
And she says this because she is in an interracial relationship and has the mixed race children and sees the reality of how under represented ethnicities cultures and colors are represented. I'm white and was raised in a white middle class family in Ohio going to an all girl Catholic high school. I was an outspoken feminist in the '80s and '90s and my dad thought that I was a lesbian and kicked me out of the house. I didn't encounter diversity until I left home and moved to New York. Then I married a black man and became part of HIS family. When your family is underrepresented and your kids have to deal with bullshit stereotypes You wake up real quick. And then you advocate. Ellen is the GOAT when it comes to calling Bull Shit on what's accepted but is wrong, wrong, wrong!
AMEN Jennifer 🥰
As beautiful as this is there’s no such things as mixed race…. You have a beautiful multicultural family…. It’s only one race the HUMAN RACE…..❤❤❤
@@lorihall-israel your 100% CORRECT! I don't like using the word race but I do in these posts because it's what people are comfortable with, societally. I don't like the word race because it was invented by slaveholders to demean and diminish the intelligence and value of black people in order to justify white people owning them. I wish that we would use terms like ethnicity and culture because like you, I believe we are all one race, the human race. We all bleed red, we all feel the same emotions, we all have family, we all love. The color of our skin, where we come from, our spirituality, those are the things that make us unique. And THOSE are the things that need to be celebrated and embraced and understood by everyone in order for our differences not to be defined as divisive. As the human race we should bond together and support each other just like these women are supporting each other. I think if women spent less time trying to tear each other down so that we feel better about ourselves, based on unattainable levels of perfection that the media and society put out there, we could literally rule the world. In all reality, we do it already, but we do it from the background and we don't get any credit or respect for it.
Omg stop the pandering, so cringe
@@Lanybananey pandering to whom? Strong women? The fact that there are ethnic and cultural issues that NEED to be addressed. If agreeing that societally standards are BS is pandering then color me guilty. But until you have to sit down with your four mixed race sons and have the conversation of what not to do if you happen to get pulled over by an officer, (Knowing for well that not all officers are like the ones that show up online because you come from a family of police officers, my dad and both my uncles), BUT You still have to give that warning because there could always be that one cop who's not going to see your kid as just a kid, he's going to see him as a threat. That isn't pandering, that's reality.
emma roberts is like “fuck why didn’t i think of that”
Emma Roberts doesn't deserve the privilege she has, she's a horrible person irl.
She's a racist herself so...
Coke isn’t constructive for altruism
emma’s face is killing me LOL
😅
Obviously she means qualified, talented and trained people of color. I think that’s a given, and doesn’t need to b stated. What some of y’all are missing while getting caught up on the specifics, is that Ellen has worked with Shonda Rhimes, Debbie Allen, Loretta Devine and Chandra Wilson to name a few. That’s her point. She is very well AWARE that they’re are MORE talented qualified and trained people of color. So her true question is : why aren’t more of them in the room? Why are they Underrepresented?
Exactly 💯 You said it perfect
Uh, is it? Who says? What retardation. You people want blacks to see. You don’t give a fuck if they can do anything.
That's the kind of truth telling that it's going to take to make a difference!!
Okay, Okay!!! Miss Ellen had time today!!!👏🏾😏She sounds like she was waiting on the opportunity to say some things!
Agreed
The people behind the camera:
👁️👄👁️ sorry, Ellen…
I’m brown and I just want qualified people period. Don’t hire me because I’m brown, hire me because I’m qualified.
Don't you think it's a bit strange when a company's whole team is white, when the demographic in the area is 60% racial minorities? That's why she spoke up. It probably seemed weird to her.
How about give qualified BROWN people an opportunity instead of solely looking for non brown people.
@@ericaparkman8616it's actually crazy that you hear about a room that doesn't have "enough" color (notice she didn't say "no" color) and automatically assume they must only be hiring white people and not whoever happens to be most qualified. You honestly think any business that wants to thrive would hire people based on race and not qualifications, experience, work ethic, etc?
@@kristenkidd3982ok white lady
@@kristenkidd3982no one said that but ok Karen
I think it’s funny that everyone who missed the point and is mad about what she said are also ironically determined to remind everyone that people shouldn’t be hired solely based on their skin color. How can y’all not see, due to the context, that y’all are implying POC aren’t as qualified? This is the American film industry and what Ellen said was absolutely valid. People shouldn’t just get hired because they’re white which is what has been happening since the dawn of filmmaking, and she’s trying to advocate against that. I think a lot of people need to sit and why they’re so upset. Your sentiments on inclusion are as old as the film industry itself and are still just as bad faith. She literally agrees with the intellectual diversity point y’all keep insisting she missed.
People who leave comments like y’all are why Hollywood has these problems in the first place. Ex: Movies like the Blindside and the lies it told, in order to comfort white/ model minority audiences. You guys are the white audiences that producers think won’t relate. She literally said to include people that were just as qualified & y’all turned it into a way to discriminate against white people. 🙃
I also like to add that when people who think like y’all are in positions of power and are told that they had to have more diverse teams, that’s when it becomes “forced diversity”. We’ve all seen “inclusive” things that don’t necessarily make sense. And we can tell when things are made to target minority audiences just for the sake of them being minorities. (I’m looking at you McDonald’s commercials ) It’s a job for people at the end of the day and when people who don’t think a lack of diversity is an issue and or are just racist, make “inclusive” decisions it doesn’t look right. Again refer to movies like the Blindside or the annual over the top plucky BLM and pride merchandise. (Which has admittedly been getting less cringe, because the teams are getting more diverse, but still needs a lot of work.) When people are actually willing to understand how race can affect opportunity, especially in the entertainment industry, it leads to more substantial and affective hiring. Which I’m sure everyone in the comments is advocating for.
@@potatokat8453🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
But Gabby Union is sitting right there so obviously blacks are being hired? You are pushing an ideology that's simply UNTRUE. The majority of blacks are definitely not as qualified as the majority of whites. No debate- End of story.
What?! And the lies Blindside told? You’re a clown - what she said is the most racist thing ever, try leaving the plantation & stepping into reality🤡
Ellen is not advocating anything. If she's in the way of black women making it, then why is she at the table at all? Make room, you're in the way. This is just narcissist posturing, empty words to blow one's ego. She's also very transparent because she's not a good actress. Television is extremely "diverse" these days, to the point that projects fail because they were constructed with these ideas of identity politics in mind rather than triyng to appeal to the general public with good writing.
I've seen a few comments about virtue signaling, Before ANYONE tries to say that she is virtue signaling... as a female actress it could actually hurt her career saying things like that, and to speak up and not not just sit by. SO GOOD FOR HER!
Her husband is black, and her children are bi racial
I wish I could highlight this comment
Please explain to me how could this hurt her career.
The happiness of the women of colour sitting next to her is enough to tell me she did it right ❣️
No it won’t hurt her, Hollywood is a cesspool of woke virtue signalling idiots. If she had said, the most important thing is talent and merit regardless of a persons skin colour or gender, then she’d be risking her career. Towing the party line will have zero adverse effects for her.
This is HUGE on so many levels.
I am a POC and grew up in a very small town, where demographic diversity was almost nonexistent. It just happened to be because of the location and access, etc that not many immigrants ended up there, but my parents did.
Then, about a decade ago, I moved into the big city 700 km away and the only way I know how to phrase it is that it was “culture shock of my own culture” - my first PROPER/REAL experience of people like me along with so many other colors and minorities and not how the media portrayed us wasn’t until I was 18 years old. And it took me that decade to try to become accustomed to that somehow. To undo everything that had been programmed into me in my developing years by my personal environment, by the people I saw in magazines and film, and and the fact that absolutely none of them looked or acted, or even found interests the same as mine.
Just two years ago, ended up working on the set of a TV series that had a very diverse cast, even if behind-the-scenes still needed to catch up to that. But I was fortunate enough to not only be able to have a private conversation with one of the leads as well as show creator but to thank them because small examples like this show were all I would have needed as a little girl to have a little more confidence growing up so thank God a little girl now would have it - I spent the entirety of my first two decades believing that I would never be good enough for the world. This world didn’t want me because of the color of my skin. And I’m fighting that less now, but the fight still exists.
Things like this - what Ellen has said - needs to be said, needs to be pointed out, needs to be changed. Representation needs to happen on screen, behind-the-scenes, and in the many contexts that exist outside of the film industry
🙏
Nobody cares
@@cutieboychase and yet you feel the need to comment
Not Emma fully disagreeing😭😂
She cheers them too
This is thecl right way to be an ally🎉
Girl, if you get that kind of a look from Gabrielle you know you’re doing something right.
Voila
Exactly 💯
Good for you for speaking up and speaking out!
And these are the reasons she’s one of the few realist and rational people in Hollywood. I mean she’s all vibes. God bless her, the family and protect her at all cost.❤🙏🏻
Physical diversity should NEVER be more important than intellectual diversity.
Fact. But different life experiences also count as intellectual diversity. And if you don't have diversity in your company you're simply shooting yourself in the foot.
@@NumberOneJournaltwo Caucasian people can have different life experiences. One can be born into a wealthy affluent family where they don't get into trouble because of daddy's money. While the other is born to a poor family that lives paycheck to paycheck, where they barely scrapping by and aren't patented because both parents are at work. Or on grows up with two parents and the other in a single parent household. Skin color difference doesn't mean life experiences are different. There are poor people, violent people, addicts, wealthy people that come in every single color and race.
I meant different life experiences as in: the world treats you differently depending on how you look. So people that look different than you will have a different experience of the world. That kind of diversity of experiences enrichess a company's culture@@maggiehernandez7215
@@NumberOneJournal yes it does. Typically if you look like you have money people trip over themselves to help you or look the other way to your wrong doings. That doesn't change with skin color. There are racist people of every race, ethnicity and color. A company shouldn't hire based on the color of someone skin because that's just making every company like a crayon box. We got to make sure we have a brown, black, white, yellow and red. If you can't get a job without having to rely on your skin color most, if not all, the time it's because you lack the skills and qualifications for it. That means that you shouldn't have the job because again different skin color doesn't equal diversity of thought which mean there is no added value to that company.
Eh I depends on the type of intellectual diversity. Unlike races/ethnicities, not all viewpoints are valid or equal, and some are downright evil and should not be accepted anywhere.
Wow! I love her tenacity! We need more public figures like her! ❤ So much respect for being the one to point out lack of diversity!
Thats still not going to stop racist it's I dont care what people say and neither do people who think like me
@@tiffanysample5058 Very aware. I'm Indigenous Australian, racism for me is everyday. It's still nice seeing someone speak up for lack of diversity, no means for it to mean the world will change but got to respect white folk who care because they actually have respect
She is a mother and wife who not only talks but walks the walk and it’s appreciated every time I see it

"How do we end racism? Stop talking about race. Stop calling me a black man. Just call me a man." Morgan Freeman
True
Exactly. Our ancestors might have created it but not everyone today is trying to keep racism alive
@@brandiwyne Agreed. But wouldn't you agree that inaction at the face of injustice is a way of upholding racism? I am very very saddened by some of the comments of white people in this video. Some seem so defensive against the idea to be part of the solution instead of perpetuating a problem. Idk... it just makes me sad 😢
@@NumberOneJournal and honestly I'm not all white, I'm mixed and just have light skin. It sucks to have to explain yourself and prove you're not racist.
We should just all accept each other and stop talking about race in general. Accept that everyone looks different. Part of the problem is there's still trauma being passed down through generations when it doesn't need to be unless certain things are actually happening. But there are terrible things happening to people of all races right now so it shouldn't matter based on skin and race and culture
Yes dear, but racial minorities always seem to be getting the short end of the stick when it comes to all the problems in society, namely education, access to housing, work, health care... And to argue otherwise is to ignore the statistic... Check what happened during covid, racial minorities were the ones that got less assistance, and in turn suffered the hardest blow in casualties@@brandiwyne
Im so with her. I agree. We need more diversity in every aspect. ❤🖤🤍🩶💛💙💚💛
I love this, where can we watch the full interveiw?
Porter magazine. It's in the title. lol
This is a couple years ago
@@shanajoseph5714 and we still dealing with the same problem. Lol 😂
As a mixed black nd white software developer, I've never met another black software engineer let alone a woman . I used to always straighten my hair (looking Indian) and now, make a point for interviews or meetings, I need to mean business to have my natural hair; who doesn't care about taking up space & thriving . That self affirmation is so powerful ❤
Thanks for sharing your story Moesha 🙏
Wait to an asian american tries to get an acting, singing, sports any type of entertainment gig.
@christya-lx4jr I mean I don't straighten it ... natural curls still need product and styling thankyou for your passive aggressive ignorance
Ellen stands on everything she believes in and i love her.
Emma Roberts was not feeling it lolll
So hire people because what they look like and not based off their qualifications. Sounds about right.
So you're saying there aren't any qualified people that aren't white? Is that it?
No @NumberOneJournal. They are saying that what people look like is what matters.. not about how well suited they are for a position.
You’re twisting their words.. it shouldn’t matter about the race people are. Qualified is qualified.
Don't be obtuse. You can't be this naive. She was talking about the crew. Those jobs are filled with an internship/apprenticeship type of tradition. So guess who gets them? The producer's kids' friends from a private school. Or the director's golf partner's nephew...etc. It's an insider gig and minorities are shut out from even being given an opportunity. She is saying that she, as a white person with some power has the responsibility to open the doors to allow POC to walk thru them instead of being another white person closing the door behind them. You know good and well POC can do the job just as well as the hipster nepo baby white guys we'd see if they turned the cameras around.
What qualifications are you looking for? Because minus their skin color poc can have all the same qualifications. There are very capable poc actors out there looking for roles.
@@mattiebee347 xactly
I love how ellen put some of herself into meredith. She made her a voice just like she tries to be. Absolutely beautiful.
She is not from the Caucasus!🤨 The Caucasus is a high mountain range in Eurasia that runs from west-northwest to east-southeast between the Black and Caspian Seas.
The Caucasus consists of several countries such as Chechnya, Dagestan, Circassians, etc. If You’re US-American, YOU ARE NOT CAUCASIAN!!!!
It's the best qualified person for the job
Not in the new world..look at the Vice President…she got the job because she was some what black not VP smart
I know I’m so confused ok so your point 😅😅 but it’d be ok if there was no white in the room. Frig off
Literally what she said…
So only white people are qualified? LOL
Speak it!❤
What a wonderful person. She really is my role model. Both as Meredith and as herself 🩷
She’s truly amazing. Creating awareness and calling BS for what’s happened in her country’s history. Instead of being like the other half who are entitled and racist and say what happened in the past has nothing to do with them, and just continue to perpetuate the problem with the way they were raised and defend generations of racists.
💯
I agree. I’m all jobs not just Hollywood jobs.
I’ve created zero problems. Go ahead and speak down to the people. Show your receipts. Shame others. I’m just over here livin and love’n! Character over color. Guilt free. A joyful member of a beautiful melting pot. ❤
Seems like you're not the problem then. Do you really don't think that some other white folk need to hear this?
seems like you're part of the problem if you felt offended enough to take it personally and voice how you aren't part of the problem. it's very telling considering if you are guilt-free, you'd have felt no need to even make such a comment. 😂
Gabrielle Union looked at her like “girl, you just got invited to the cookout” 😂
U def smell like natural deodorant and body odor
You look like Jonah hill if he became a shallow pretentious liberal who never lost weight and thought "fat is beautiful"
Not only COLOR but CULTURES/RELIGION aswel … ppl HATE it but I LOVE when all kind of ppl are mixed
SHES AMAZINGGGGG
She created the problem (she says), she should volunteer to solve it. Walk out and give your spot to someone "with color."
How do you know she hasnt? She is publicly addressing the issue. At the same time she is an actress and she has to earn her wage - be fair please!
Addressing an issue doesn’t mean she has to be left without.
Proud of her
Agree. @julzgulz1992
Lol you think if she left they would replace her with a person of color?! The real question is do people of color want allies or not. I see allies being attacked for speaking out on the behalf of the people of color, we need to stop that.
Her using her spot to speak up could open the doors to 10 other ppl due to her platform and influence and the privilege she holds as a white woman and encouraged millions of others. Her giving up her spot solves nothing as it would only open up 1 spot for 1 person but not changing the system that put her in place. It’s not your fault for having privilege. It’s what you do with it. Systematic change starts at the top not individual only. Use your white guilt where it matters
YOU GO ELLEN POMPEO! I am impressed❤❤❤❤
If you go everywhere in life wondering about diversity and color,....then diversity and color is all you're ever gonna see!,....who wants to live like that?
The caucuses are mad cause she spoke up and with facts.. Too bad, there's really nothing you can do but be mad and repeat the truth over and over 😂😂😂😂 I love this woman ❤❤❤
How’s it white peoples fault if someone else doesn’t choose a major fitting of such a position?
They sure are. 😂
Exposing themselves in the comment section.
"Ahhh, white lady in power advocates for diversity of opportunity for less empowered people. Wahhhhhh I'll never survive this.
Blah blah blah I HATE WOKE Et cetera"
😂😂
😂😂😂
Another reason I effin love her!! ❤❤❤
Color isn’t the only thing missing usually it’s a lack of diversity as a whole, where are the Asian women the Indian women I feel like lots of people make this mistake when referring to diversity and that mistake is making it about black people only it. BLM is about black people only but a lack of diversity is an issue of all races and ethnicities not being shown the in these circumstances but I must say we have made incredible strides for diversity in the past years and I’m so thankful for people like Ellen who keep the conversation going so we can have these discussions❤
100%
…they’re in Asia, and India, where their race is the majority. Because the best person for the job should get the job, and this country has a white majority, so of course they’re more white people in these jobs 🤦🏻♀️
@@jinamg247 So when 40% of the US is made out of racial minorities and you enter a company and everyone is white. That seems correct to you? Math is not mathing 😅
We're need more people like her to say some shit because that real shit y'all
Gabrielle Union holding herself back but also giving such a look of respect and approval for that response to the lack of diversity is such a beautiful moment. Ellen Pompeo is a beautiful person to speak up like that.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Because colour is the most important thing to these people and not talent or merit. Viola Davis has won a Tony, Oscar, Emmy and for know what other award not because she was the best black actress but because she was the best actress period!!!! The only diversity that matters is intellectual diversity, not diversity of appearance.
Awards and opportunities are given by people to other people. So inclusivity helps open the doors to talented individuals from other backgrounds and races ✌️
And viola still makes significantly less than her white counterparts some of whom do not have a resume anywhere near what she has.
All colors need to apply. Sick of hollywood also dividing the states.
how I can I love this woman more and more, it’s crazyy
Give your seat up then to match your vision.
PREACH
So obtuse.
Literally 4 different races in that room 🤔
She's so embarrassing
She meant the crew 😅
@@NumberOneJournal right, maybe they should fire some of the white crew and hire POC ones right?? What kind of logic is that? Affirmative action is literally offensive to POCs, you're proving that they're not capable of getting jobs based on their qualifications so they need help 🤡🤡🤡 they don't need your help, they need you to just hire people based on merit and qualifications PURELY, that's IT.

I LOVE ELLEN POMPEO♥️♥️♥️She is my favorite actor
She said what she said and I approve👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Queen. Class act.
As a white dude who is 2nd generation american its not my job to do a damn thing cause i did not creat shit
You really took that personally, didn't you?
Yes it’s all racist virtue signaling that creates more division.
Why are you even here.
As a person who is part of a larger community- we're all encouraged to make our communities and industries whet we have influence better. I wasn't born in the US, I didn't cause any of the circumstances of the pandemic, but I still advocated for safer working conditions for my employees, lead multiple walks a week in my community to check in on our elderly and small businesses. It's not about who's fault it is, it's about- ok, am I in a unique position to help others and make things better? OK, I recognize that privilege and I'm gonna use it to help where I can.
@@akikom1331 AMEN 🙏
You’re what we need to hear. You are one of the top 10 people I respect in Hollywood. Keep it up even after Greys
I hate discussing color…etc it’s a sensitive subject to many people. Unfortunately it’s a systemic issue it has existed for many many years. We’ve to address it without making anyone feel uncomfortable. But we need to fix the problem from child care to raise children in equal running.
She is the reason i watch Grey's Anatomy. Love her so much!!
When all you see is color. That's not something to praise
Silence is compliance. Keep up the good work....#stayignorant
And you color blind dots are what’s wrong with the world. It like being on the fence to see which side you going to pick. It impossible to not “see color” 👀👀👀
Better than people pretending not to see color as a way to solidify that they’re not racist.
Darling, you can do better than this. We believe in you. Read up about racial theory and history. It will blow your mind.
We have to make sure that everything is representative of the population. Oh wait, we already do.
It’s like a Meredith Grey speech but it’s Ellen Pompeo
Notice how they never in the room together haha
Adding this woman to list of people I want to meet in my lifetime.
Aww 🥲
Yes your world looks different and you see the world different when your kids are mixed. Bravo
We all live in the same world lady.
Ellen is used to work with Shonda. The Greys Anatomy has been like the people you see everyday
Her kids are mixed race and she's used her platform to speak on change before. So I appreciate hearing this.
Right so which POC should we replace her with?
Pick me. Choose me. Love me. 😅
She didn't have that big of a problem cashing those checks.
The bills are not going to wait for her or the world to change, but the fact that uses that fame to speak up is enough, its up to us to speak up and she is, regarding if she got paid, shes using the platform to speak up, period
She has a family to provide for. Her kids are mixed
U people are never happy. How sad must be to live like that.
What checks. The ones from the show created by a POC woman? Why would she have any problem cashing those. How does that conflict with what she's saying here?
It's not about talent vs skin color, it's equality & equity in hiring practices. It's regrettable how many of you don't understand that. She's pointing out that white people have been in control of Hollywood since its creation so the hiring process favors whites in front and behind the scenes. We created the problem by not interviewing/hiring BIPOC with the same qualifications as white applicants. Don't tell me everyone's getting the same chances, we both know that's not true. All she's saying is that Hollywood needs to evolve to reflect today's society
Amen!!
We’ve created the problem????? I’m sorry excuse me WHAT.
Meanwhile, Emma is over here being transphobic to her costars
Ouch
Isn't it funny that MLK Jr. Wanted people to be judged on the content of their character and not on the color of their skin and yet that is all that we hear about today. Rasicm will stop to exist when people stop calling attention to it. We need to celebrate how we are alike instead of how we are different. Morgan Freeman talked about this in an interview and it really opened my eyes.
I love her even more…much respect
Amen! Speak your truth. Yes, it is time to heal the world.💖
Hiring people just because "You want to see color" is actually discriminative. They're not defined by their colors, you should view them as a person first and hire them based on their qualifications. You should appreciate their culture, not make assumptions based on their race, show them respect as you do for everyone. You can't solve discrimination with even more discrimination. That only creates more hatred between people.
That's not what she's saying. You're deliverately missing the point.
It is so disappointing to read these types of comments. You live im this world and you KNOW what Ellen is saying is true. Brown and black are not given the same opportunity. They are looked over BECAUSE of their color. How do you propose this issue be fixed?
@@NumberOneJournal That's exactly what she's saying. Wym "You don't see enough color"? Why does anyone's skin color even matter in a business setting? I would get it if it was in a cultural setting but it's not. The only thing that should matter is their work ethics and qualifications. That's how you counter racism, by looking beyond someone's race, not focusing on it and seeing it as a neutral trait. I'm from a country where racism almost doesn't exist and that's what we do.
The problem with this idea is- I want to see more color, but it should be: I want to work with the most talented people....otherwise you'll start discriminating against talented people because of the color of their skin...
It should be about talent and skill, not the color of your skin...
Nope. That's not what she said
Representation matters. There should be people in the room from different backgrounds because their differing experiences provide more holistic conversations. That’s why diversity is important. It’s not just diversity for diversities sake.
So the most talented people are WHITE?
Sadly, we already are.
I see what you mean, she's just saying there are talented people are in all colors.....
this reminds me of bo burnham
my love for ellen is astronomical
Lol, hire the talent, not the skin color.
There's talented people from every skin color 😅
Exactly, that's what she's saying lol
yes but let everyone in the room to interview for the job, give everyone the same chance. That's the issue. If you don't open the door to everyone, or have a racist/biased HR dept, you get a very vanilla looking crew.
Totally agreed
Pretty ignorant thing to say, considering talented people don't have a specific skin color. Their are talented people in all communities of all ethnicities, skin colors and nationalities.😊
Gabrielle is like..welp, glad I didn't have to say it myself for the millionth time lol especially on camera that way, this is where allies are meant to hit the front line
Boom 💥
As long as its not diversity for diversitys sake and everyone's as skilled and has equall shots at it i see no problem
She never said otherwise. The fact that you felt the need to say this speaks volumes about your own bias.
Emma Robert’s looking like it’s totally fine
I love that advocacy! I hope she also starts asking: How many disabled women are there? As non-disabled people, it is a similar job, because you created ableism as well.
💯
The crew needs to be qualified though. Skin color has nothing to do with job qualification. I’m not gonna hire you just because you’re of a certain color. It’s who can do the job. Not who has the color. Diversity is useless if those who get hired can’t do the job well.
Why wouldn't they be qualified...
I like to see the right people who knows how to do the job be in the job. I don’t worry about color. It is all about who knows the job.
Yes, people should hire depending on ability, experience, etc and not on colour. But that goes the other way too. You can’t just hire people based on their skin colour so you have a range of colours.
If they hired based on skill there wouldn't be a problem...
My only question is: is she gonna give up the spots and roles she has for people of color or does she think that’s OTHER peoples spot to give up? Honestly it’s hypocritical when I hear white people who have MADE IT talk about how there needs to be more diversity
Why would she give up role ? Like, she is the one being casted. Also she played along people from different backgrounds in Greys. It is not like they casted only Caucasians 🙈
It is getting to an absurd where historical characters that were white are played by black people. I am pretty sure there would be a GIANT scandal if an actor playing M. Luther King was white….
Honestly if something is based on history or on a book that has description of a person, they should just stick with it.
Casting more people of color and casting based off of performance and ability does not mean giving up rolls. It means that they cast the best person for the roll. I don't think they should cast people of color JUST for diversity, but she is RIGHT it is a problem. People, especially woman, are not fairly cast. They ate cast and judged off how they look.
Why should she?
@@deekayteeohthreeTo set the example?
I mean, she has the platform. Why would you NOT want her to use it? I honestly don’t understand. She has mixed kids also, so yes she’s speaking about it.
You don't hire based on more diversity..you hire based on talent, training andcskills...color has nothing to do with it.
Sadly there's racists in some HHRR departments too... Diversity laws help open the door to talented candidates of all races ✌️
@@NumberOneJournal no they dont..they force companies/people to hire based on color or ethnicity to avoid being sued.
@@noneofyourbusiness0818 I mean before.
@@NumberOneJournal that is completely irrelevant..I don't want to go somewhere and get subpar service because of diversity hires..I want to know the person I'm dealing with has the best training, education and skills for their position. I don't care what they look like...a white person isn't going to do a better job because they are white and a black person isn't more qualified because a quota needs to be met.hire people based on who can do the job best.
Correct!
I admire her because, she unapologetically lives what she speaks.
Interesting comment from this star - her world is very different to mine - she is strong, forthright and stands strong by her convictions. I grew up in an area of just Caucasian people and although taught that everyone is equal I was intimidated by coloured people. As I grew older and mixed more by travelling I see the world as a segregated place which continues to evolve and grow - there is great unrest caused by religion and colour - I wonder if one day we can all live in peace ☮️ that is my wish 😎🇦🇺
Black people only make up 13% of the population. So in room of 20 people, 2 or 3 would be black you base it on the national average.
Idk where they are or where she's from to get specific stats.
You just discovered the meaning of the word "minority" 😅 keep going. You're doing great 👍
Yes, but I find it VERY unfair if the position isn't earned by a decent resume. I write. I saw a posting a few months ago that actually said: black authors only. 😮 Can you imagine if any magazine said: white writers only, please. No. Stop looking at people's skin Ellen! Look at people's resume
@@crazycatzmum I think it's ok for white people to take seat for a minute.
@@NumberOneJournalWhy? If discrimination is wrong, and it is, then why do you think it's ok to reverse it and use it against white people? If it's ok then it's ok, if it's morally wrong then we should ALL try to make things right for EVERYONE.
@@jilllarson6781 who said anything about reverse racism?
She’s incredible! Copy and paste more of HER in this world. 🙌🏾✨
There you go she got her 15 mins of fame.
Are you still waiting for yours? That's why you spread hate on the comments?
See. This is where I have a problem. I understand In some instances there is a racial issue but at the end of the day if someone is good at the job, give them the job. Their skin color should have NO DECIDING FACTOR on whether the job is there’s. THATS racism. Example: (white guy john who’s been to college for 4 years, has been working in the field for 6 years since) “I see your extensive background in this field, I see you have a masters in blah blah blah, you have wonderful reviews from former bosses but, rob over here, he’s indian. Although he only has 1 year of college and has never worked in the field. we are choosing him over you because well, he’s Indian.” But thanks! Imagine being that Indian man, knowing you’re only chosen based on what you look like.
Ok. Stop. This is fashion industry. Who's qualified for what. The photographer stylist is someone's boyfriend. Like, stop it.
@@NumberOneJournalyes but Ellen's saying the same thing others are saying and it's happening EVERYWHERE so the point and example still stands. It's about fighting for equality not picking people just because of their skin color. Another example? In my area of Texas, colored children in the foster system receive more college benefits and other benefits more than white children simply because they're children of color. That's not equality, that's racism. So what do you actually want? Do you want equality, or do you want racism to play out in your favor?
@@reneejett6509 I want guns for everyone
She should give up her seat to someone else.
I was looking for this comment. You put it nicely and direct 🙌
Who cares🙄 are they good at what they do? Even as a woman of color,if you are more qualified than the other im choosing you to do the job,i also dont want a pity hire,"oh you probably wont have the qualifications on your own to get a job so ill help cuz youre black"like no thanks😬
You missed the point. There's PLENTY of qualified people of every race. They are just not getting the parts because producers think a white audience won't relate to them 🙄
Caussains are made cause one of their own spoke up 😂😂😂😂
And Candace Owens has entered the chat…
Stunning. Some might even call it brave.
Amen!!! I Agree, not just in Porter Magazine.
But, there is Prejudice in some parts of California & the World.
There’s too much Segregation.
They just hide it better now. But love that she called it out
