I've always loved this anecdote from Mira Nair, filmmaker and mother of Zohran Mamdani, about pitching a studio exec on MISSISSIPPI MASALA (1991) and being told he'd only fund it if it had more white people
"I said, 'Well, all the waiters in this film will be white. Of that, I can promise you.'"
add a skeleton here at some point
