Matt Damon Is So White It Hurts!!!
If you are familiar with Project Greenlight then you witnessed that Matt Damon Is So White It Hurts when speaking over the only black person speaking about diversity.
The Martian star Matt Damon was so out of line it’s disturbing.
CelebNMusic247.com would normally support Matt, but in this incident we are with “Dear White People” producer Effie Brown. Matt and Effie were caught on Project Greenlight when the two were seen discussing which amateur director should be chosen to direct his or her first feature film.
Watch the most recent clip from the episode, which aired Sunday:

Brown implores Damon and the show’s other producers, including Ben Affleck, to consider choosing a director from a diverse background who could sensitively portray the film’s sole black character, whom she describes as “a hooker who gets hits by her white pimp.”
Damon, however, wanted to choose a director solely on “merit.”
He argued:
“When we’re talking about diversity, you do it in the casting of the film, not in the casting of the show.”
Brown responded with a baffled expression:
“Ooof! Wow, okay.”
Since Damon’s remark, it appears we all NEED to STFD and listen to him when it comes to diversity since he has such a full understanding of it. Especially since his background is African-American. Oh wait he’s NOT, Damon was born in Cambridge, MA and his decent is Scottish, Finnish and Swedish.
Kind of a far cry from African-American, but hey for some reason the screenwriter/producer/director/actor feels he understands diversity better than Effie Brown.
What do you think?
