Elizabeth Banks Got No Love From Twitter For Saying Steven Spielberg Never Cast A Female Lead
Guys, guys. Relax. When Elizabeth Banks said Spielberg hasn't made any movies starring women, she meant *white women* so that's… uh oh.

C'mon Elizabeth Banks! I'm a white guy from Georgia and I've watched The Color Purple. Do some research before insulting Steven Spielberg!

This is why we fight on. #OscarsSoWhite is about erasure of women & WOC, too. Even by other "liberal" women. https://t.co/8JSAFIeiFJ

What Elizabeth Banks really mean was Spielberg hasn't done a movie with a white female lead, because that's what really counts for her.

Even without the Color Purple it would be incorrect as he’s directing one right now, starring Meryl Streep. She took a cheap shot and missed

I never knew who Elizabeth Banks was until now. I’ve seen The Color Purple over 1000xs, read the book & seen the play. Who’s really the flop pic.twitter.com/OoSd8iUpbC

Color Purple is trending nationally. Because white women said it was a flop & that Steven Spielberg never directed a movie w/ a female lead. pic.twitter.com/mG8De7HxUs
