Speaking to an Australian news outlet, Stone said she has “learned on a macro level about the insane history of whitewashing in Hollywood and how prevalent the problem truly is.”
She added: “It’s ignited a conversation that’s very important.”
Stone, for her part, echoed those statements. “There’s a lot of conversation about how we want to see people represented on screen and what we need to change as a business to reflect culture in a clearer way and not in an idealized way,” Stone said, while also mentioning how often she plays a love interest to a much older man. “There are some flaws in the system. My eyes have been opened in many ways this year.”
