Netflix boss rejects Frances McDormand's "inclusion riders" proposal for increased diversity

USA Today

Netflix CEO Reed Hastings isn't a fan of the proposal McDormand championed in her Oscar speech to have stars put "inclusion riders" in contracts to ensure diversity in cast and crew. "We’re not so big on doing everything through agreements," he said. "We’re trying to do things creatively." Hastings said he'd rather see his staff speak with producers directly when it comes to diversity.
