Actress Jessica Chastain responded on social media this week after critics slammed her for appearing on the cover of LA Times Magazine alongside a half-dozen other white actresses for a story about women’s equality in Hollywood. Chastain, the 40-year-old star of the drama and upcoming awards-season hopeful Molly’s Game, covered the magazine’s pre-Chritsmas issue alongside fellow actresses Kate Winslet (Wonder Wheel), Diane Kruger (In the Fade), Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird), Margot Robbie (I, Tonya), and Annette Bening (Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool).
Critics immediately noticed the lack of any actresses of color on the magazine cover, including author Rebecca Carroll, who tweeted directly at Chastain.
“Honestly @jes_chastain as an outspoken voice for equality how do you pose for a photo like this and not feel absolutely mortified by the blatant exclusion?” Carroll wrote in a tweet. “How is it possible to not understand the msg this photo sends?”
The actress responded by calling the photo a “sad look,” though the contact between the women on the cover suggests that they were in the same room when it was being shot.
“Its a sad look that there’s no WOC in this pic of us promoting our female lead films,” Chastain replied. “The industry needs to become more inclusive in its storytelling.”

Salma who descends from very wealthy parents of Spanish and Lebanese extraction, Salma who is married to a billionaire...... yeah, what a great example of progress for OPPRESSED WOMYN OF COLOR !!
Where’s Sec. James Watt when we need him?
She seems to not have complained when the pictures were being taken.
Don’t forget the Arab woman with the Hijab.
Whites disclaiming Whites for being White is racist.
Good. Instead of winning white women 53%-43% as in 2016, he’ll win with 63%-33% in 2020.
Yup.
I've seen scientific studies that show that babies of all races prefer viewing NW European women over all others.
