Hackers are exposing people left and right. Next on the list are film producer Scott Rudin & Sony Pictures chair Amy Pascal who have been caught saying some pretty racist things about President Obama. Sony was the victim of a cyber attack back in November and amongst the findings was the email chain between Rudin and Pascal.

In an email chain leaked by hackers Pascal allegedly asked Rudin for suggestions on what she should discuss with Obama at a “stupid” fundraising breakfast hosted by DreamWorks Animation head Jeffrey Katzenberg, a big Democratic donor, in November 2013.
Rudin, 56, whose producing credits include Moneyball, Captain Phillips, and The Social Network, asked whether he would like to help finance any films.
“I doubt it,” Pascal responded. “Should I ask him if he liked Django [Unchained]?”Rudin replied: “12 Years [a Slave],” to which Pascal brought up a series of other films starring African-Americans. “Or the butler. Or think like a man?”
“Ride-along,” responded Rudin. “I bet he likes Kevin Hart.”
At the actual fundraiser, the president spoke about the entertainment industry, “one of the bright spots of our economy,” while praising Katzenberg. Obama made no mention of the films tossed back and forth between Rudin and Pascal, although he did joke at one point: “My ears were the inspiration for Shrek.”According to BuzzFeed, Pascal donated $5,000 to Obama’s reelection campaign, in addition to a $30,800 check to the Democratic National Convention.
That awkward moment when all The movies listed were #1 in the box office. You can be racist but you can’t deny who’s winning.
