Where's That "Pay Czar," Mr. President???

I know. I know. Like you, I've been eagerly awaiting, with bad breath, for Vanity Fair's top 40 list of Hollywood's highest paid talent.

Oh. Wait.

That top ten list looks mighty, uh, you know, not strictly Caucasian, but pale skinned. And they're all male (gasp!).

No Black folks? No wymen?? Mr. President???

The top ten list is real impressive. But who really needs all that money?

1. Michael Bay: $125 million
2. Steven Spielberg: $85 million
3. Roland Emmerich: $70 million
4. James Cameron: $50 million
5. Todd Phillips: $44 million
6. Daniel Radcliffe: $41 million
7. Ben Stiller: $40 million
8. Tom Hanks: $36 million
9. J.J. Abrams: $36 million
10. Jerry Bruckheimer: $35.5 million....

Tyler Perry, a Black man, (but another male) comes in at number eleven with $32.5 million bank, and number 13 is Denzel Washington (another Black male) at $31 million, but a wyman doesn't show up until number 14 with that petite lil $30 million Emma Watson.

Number 15, White male. Number 16, White male. Number 17, White male. Number 18, White male. Number 19, White female. Number 20, White male. Number 21, White male...

A lot of pale faces there, Mr. President. Lots o' inequality of outcome there, Mr. President. Gender Czar? Racial Czar?

Mr. President? Hello??
