The BBC reported on how Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe mentioned how behind he thinks Hollywood is on race relations. This is a departure from what we typically hear coming out of Hollywood, who usually takes pride in their inclusive nature.

Now we see white, male Brits commenting on it. Is it time for a deeper dive into the race stereotypes happening in Hollywood?
