Michelle Rodriguez: Minorities should stop 'stealing' white superheroes
Michelle Rodriguez has sparked controversy by slamming Hollywood for casting minority actors in superhero roles that were originally conceived as white characters. It all started when a paparazzo asked the actress about a rumor that she'd been considered to play the Green Lantern. Rodriguez gave a very blunt response.
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard," said the star of the "Green Lantern" rumor. (Historically, the Green Lantern has been a white man.) Rodriguez then declared, "I think it's so stupid because of this whole, like, 'minorities in Hollywood' thing it's so stupid, it's, like, stop stealing all the white people's superheroes. Make up your own, you know what I'm saying? What's up with that?"
