We have a massive shortage of engineers and one of the big glaring holes is that we have so few women doing engineering - it's less than 10 per cent of the workforce.
When banks approve a higher percentage of loans to white applicants than to black applicants, that is automatically called discrimination, but when Asian-Americans are approved at a higher rate than whites, it is not.
I started the cosmetics in 1994 after I stopped modeling, out of my frustration as a woman of color not finding what I needed.
If I were to wait only for roles that clarify my racial makeup, I'd be waiting for a very, very long time.
There's a difference between actresses of color and actresses not of color. If you look at how big my movies are.
The 'New York Times' is not reviewing books by non-white people.
It's about very talented writers, directors, producers, and actors being in a position for their projects to be supported, but there's just not enough black projects being made.
The government at all levels is overly represented by white men. That's part of the problem, and I'm a white man.
It's definitely a problem inside the technology industry - not just gender discrimination. Diversity is an issue within technology, within Expedia.
Fashion week is not an episode of 'Girls' or 'Friends,' where I'm OK that there is not a black person in sight because I honestly believe these characters don't come into contact with - therefore don't have - any black friends. No, in the case of Fashion week, it feels wrong.
I don't see how I ever could have thought that having an all-white crew for a special about race would be OK.

I know so many extraordinary women who I never get to see represented on screen, and that's shameful.
I don't feel that I was often compartmentalized as an African-American actor, yet I am fully aware of the plight that actors, directors and producers of color face in our industry.

I have been involved with U.S. Soccer for 30 years, and I don't remember one senior woman in the organization that you would deal with on a daily basis in a position that was making decisions. That is a huge issue. How many times do you hear, 'There are no women around?' Well, they are fishing in the wrong pond.
If I were to limit myself to the opportunities that were presented playing only Chinese-American parts, I would be virtually without a career.
You can watch TV and see experts of all different colours and hues. But the minute you get past nine o'clock and you're in primetime drama land, it's like entering another world, one that doesn't reflect the diversity of the society that we have in Britain in 2016.
I don't know how often white people look around and think, 'Wow, there's really a lot of white people here; we should fix that.' But I know black people often look around and think, 'Wow, I'm the only one here - why?'
Growing up, I remember watching TV, and I didn't see a lot of people who looked like me, especially someone who passed as a glamorous model on a mainstream TV show.
