The
Harry
Potter
actor
Daniel
Radcliffe
feels
that
it
is
"pretty
undeniable" that
Hollywood
is
still
racist.
The
27-year-old
actor
believes
that
Hollywood
as
a
film
industry
is
quite
"lagging
behind" in
terms
of
appreciating
and
acknowledging
what
people
from
across
the
globe
and
all
races
actually
can
offer
and
contribute
for
its
overall
development.
When
he
was
asked
if
Hollywood
is
still
racist,
the
Harry
Potter
actor
said,
"Yes.
I
mean
it's
pretty
undeniable,
that's
the
thing,
we
like
to
think
of
ourselves
as
being
a
very
progressive
industry
but
we
have
been
lagging
behind
in
all
kinds
of
areas
and
it's
been
very
well
documented."
"I
think
there's
lots
of
things
about
the
Oscars,
there's
lots
of
amazing
performances
every
year
that
don't
get
recognised.
I
feel
like
there's
a
lot
that's
unseen
about
the
process."
Daniel
added.
However,
he
also
said
that,
of
late,
things
have
slightly
changed
and
it
has
only
got
better
than
it
was
a
few
years
ago.
He
feels
that
the
condition
has
improved
in
Hollywood,
in
terms
of
versatility
and
appreciating
a
performance
irrespective
of
its
caste
or
colour.
"I
do
think
that
now
these
things
have
come
up,
things
are
going
to
start
changing.
I'm
starting
to
see
it
in
scripts
that
I
read,"
added
the
actor.
