“I’ve learned on a macro level about the insane history of whitewashing in Hollywood and how prevalent the problem truly is,” Emma shared in a recent interview about the whitewashing controversy surrounding her film, Aloha. “It’s ignited a conversation that’s very important.”

Emma added, “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 idealised way. There are some flaws in the system. My eyes have been opened in many ways this year.”

FYI: Emma is wearing Pam and Gela pants and Finlay & Co. sunglasses.
