Actor-comedian Eddie Murphy said that race has never been an issue for him in his Hollywood career, even though he acknowledged that “white men run this business.” Eddie Murphy spoke to Britain’s Radio Times to promote his upcoming Amazon movie Coming 2 America , the long-awaited sequel to the popular 1988 comedy Coming to America . When asked if he has ever experienced racism in Hollywood, Murphy reportedly replied, “In terms of my work and my career, race has never been an issue. I’ve been making movies for 40 years and never once could I not get a movie made because I was black. I transcended that stuff.” “But that’s not to say I walked out of heaven and into Hollywood. I’m a black man who was born in America; I’m African-American. Growing up in this country, there’s no way you’re not going to have to face some shit,” he added.

How a Chinese website for pirated TV shows became a cultural touchstone for millennials
By Nectar Gan Updated 0155 GMT (0955 HKT) March 3, 2021 (CNN Business) When Bill Liang realized that popular video download and streaming service Renren Yingshi might be gone for good his heart sank. The website, also known as YYeTs.com , was how the 24-year-old film school student was able to watch hundreds of episodes of pirated American TV shows when he was growing up in northern China.
