Hollywood star Matt Damon given a black, female film producer a lesson in diversity, and the internet is not happy about it.
On the season four premiere of Project Greenlight, the HBO show about first-time filmmakers directing feature films, a team of producers including Damon, Ben Affleck and Effie Brown (who produced Dear White People) discuss which director they want to use for the film.
Brown voices concern about how the director might treat the only black character in the film - Harmony, a prostitute who gets hit by her white pimp.
Damon interrupted Brown, saying they should pick a director based on merit, not diversity.
He then went on to lecture Brown about how diversity works in Hollywood.
