美国女演员伊萨·雷说，在几部黑人主导的电视节目被取消后，她正在采取措施“独立”

Issa Rae is calling out prejudice in the entertainment industry.
伊萨·雷正在呼吁娱乐行业的偏见。

The Insecure creator and star was profiled by Porter to discuss her new movie American Fiction, which takes aim at the hypocrisy and narrow-mindedness of white audiences consuming Black entertainment. Rae observed alarming trends occurring behind the scenes in Hollywood that reflect the dynamics in the movie. “You’re seeing so many Black shows get canceled, you’re seeing so many executives — especially on the DEI side — get canned,” Rae said. “You’re seeing very clearly now that our stories are less of a priority.”
《波特》采访了这位没有安全感的创作者和明星，讨论了她的新电影《美国小说》，这部电影的目标是白人观众对黑人娱乐的虚伪和狭隘。雷观察到好莱坞幕后出现的令人担忧的趋势，这些趋势反映了电影中的动态。“你会看到很多黑人节目被取消，你会看到很多高管——尤其是在DEI方面——被解雇，”Rae说。“你现在非常清楚地看到，我们的报道不那么重要了。”

Rae doesn’t have a particularly hopeful view of the future of the industry, in part because her series Rap Sh!t was canceled at Max after two seasons. “I am pessimistic, because there’s no one holding anybody accountable — and I can, sure, but also at what cost? I can’t force you to make my stuff,” she said. “It’s made me take more steps to try to be independent down the line if I have to.”
Rae对这个行业的未来并没有特别乐观的看法，部分原因是她的系列节目Rap Sh!它在两季后被马克斯取消了。“我很悲观，因为没有人追究任何人的责任——我当然可以，但代价是什么呢?我不能强迫你做我的东西，”她说。“如果有必要的话，这让我采取了更多措施，试图在未来保持独立。”

However, that’s not affecting Rae’s enthusiasm for her work. “I’m writing a couple of different projects — one for myself and one to produce and create with others — and I’ve been feeling so inspired and excited to get back at it,” she explained. “I’m embracing that challenge. The industry is in flux, so it’s really inspired me to focus and hone in on what stories I want to tell. I’ve been laser-focused on getting these projects up and running.”
然而，这并没有影响Rae对工作的热情。她解释说:“我正在写几个不同的项目——一个是我自己的，一个是和别人一起制作和创作的——我一直感到很受鼓舞，很兴奋能重新开始。”“我正在接受这一挑战。这个行业在不断变化，所以这真的激励了我去专注和磨练我想要讲述的故事。我一直专注于这些项目的启动和运行。”

Rae said that she ultimately agrees with her character Sintara’s assertion that “ire should be directed towards the white audiences that put very specific work about Black people on this pedestal, as opposed to more diverse representations of Blackness. I don’t think it’s a secret that many white audiences and critics tend to reward traumatizing depictions, or their own biased perceptions of what Blackness is. It’s frustrating.”
Rae说她最终同意她的角色Sintara的主张，“愤怒应该指向白人观众，他们把非常具体的黑人作品放在这个基座上，而不是更多样化的黑人表现。”我认为许多白人观众和评论家倾向于奖励创伤性的描述，或者他们自己对黑人的偏见，这并不是什么秘密。这是令人沮丧的。”

Rae was in three movies last year — American Fiction, Barbie, and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. All three of these projects were nominated for Academy Awards last week.
瑞伊去年出演了三部电影——《美国小说》、《芭比娃娃》和《蜘蛛侠:穿越平行宇宙》。这三部影片上周都获得了奥斯卡金像奖提名。
