Mindy Kaling hits out at 'white male critics'
- 6 years ago
Mindy Kaling thinks she'd be "very unsuccessful" if she based her career on what "white men wanted".
The 38-year-old actress has voiced her support for Hollywood icon Meryl Streep, who previously blasted reviewers aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes for paying too much attention to white male opinions.
Mindy explained: "Meryl was talking about this, she had a great point of view about it. She made movies for women but they are reviewed by men who don't necessarily value it or don't look at it in the same point of view as a woman doing it, but it seems just unfair.
Despite this, Mindy believes that a lot of white male critics would actually enjoy her work if they took the time to see it and to "understand it".
