"Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick 'em all out, you'll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts."
What makes this statement even more ridiculous is the fact that the art that came out of Hollywood was was MUCH better when there were less foreigners and outsiders. Were not the great movies of the silver screen era, or classic westerns, Roman epics, produced when Hollywood was much less diverse? Is Streep completely discounting all those movies, that entire era? Even the Star Wars series that made Carrie Fischer (Princess Leia as she's known to Streep, good friend that she was of hers...) famous were made in a much less "diverse" creative atmosphere. It was certainly more masculine though...
