Charithra Chandran has spoken out against an entertainment industry mentality that she feels pits people of color against each other. Actors have spoken out in the past about there being limited spaces for people of color in TV and movies.
Chandran has never pictured herself as a role model but a lot of young girls follow her on social media, so she does feel a sense of responsibility.
To Chandran, this mentality is intentionally propagated by industry gatekeepers to pit people of color against each other. “It’s not a zero-sum game. You’re so focused on fighting your own that you become distracted from the people doing the oppressing. The oppressors have imposed the idea that there’s only one seat at the table, when what other people of color are doing is just pulling up more chairs.”
