Pakistani Movie Star Complains: Hollywood Only Wants White VillainsBy Alex Parker
January 12, 2023
Streams of actors would surely love to play a hero, but a villain offers a ton of teeth-sinking fun.
However, some stars will have to wait to take a bite — due to a sort of pigment-based bigotry.
In a recent interview with Esquire UK, Pakistani-American actor Kumail Ali Nanjiani explains Tinseltown’s racial politics.
You may know Kumail from his work on Silicon Valley, The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail, or Marvel’s Eternals. In 2017, he received a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for romantic comedy hit The Big Sick.
Time pegged him as one of its 2018 100 Most Influential People in the World.
