Sony boss Amy Pascal is facing another race row over details made public from her email account.
RadarOnline reports that buried in her email sent folder is a message to another Sony executive saying that TV deals were becoming so popular in Hollywood that they were 'the new black baby' that everyone wants.
The comment appears to be a racially charged jibe at white Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock who adopt African or African-American children, according to Radar.
Pascal's remarks imply that such adoptions were little more than a hot fashion accessory in her eyes.
Pascal has previously been under fire for suggesting that she talk only about a series of slavery-related movies during a brief meeting with President Barack Obama. She later apologized for those comments.
In the newly-released email, Pascal - the co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment - is communicating with Sony Television President Steve Mosko, who was angry that he wasn't looped in on a new TV rights deal that Sony had struck.
Pascal replied that the deal mostly had to do with films.
'But like everyone with half a brain these days television is the thing they want to do,' she wrote.
She then told Mr Mosko that he was 'not used to TV being the new black baby,' according to emails viewed by Radar.

Anyone willing to make all of their emails public may judge this person or any other. Seriously? Racism is bad but it goes both ways. Just because a race is a minority here, does not give right to be racist either.
ReplyDeletelet us forgive ignorant comments and move along.
I always wonder why these stupid stars go to far away countries to adopt a black kid, when we have so many here in need of adoption.
