It\u2019s different in a detective story because plot is so important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get it. How could we run through that period, especially in Hollywood, where there was all this talent and nobody got hired?\u201d Patterson added, seemingly referring to minority actors and writers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, though, he worries that it is hard for white men to get writing gigs in film, theatre, TV or publishing,\u201d Baxter said.<\/p>\n<p>Patterson noted that the problem is \u201cjust another form of racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s that all about?\u201d he asked. \u201cCan you get a job? Yes. Is it harder? Yes. It\u2019s even harder for older writers. You don\u2019t meet many 52-year-old white males.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the same interview, Patterson said he dislikes actors and public figures \u201cspouting off ignorantly about subjects they have gleaned off the internet,\u201d Baxter noted. Patterson added that he\u2019s still \u201calmost always on the side of free speech,\u201d though.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-best-selling-author-reveals-why-trump-kicked-ryan-saavedra\">WATCH: Best-Selling Author Reveals Why Trump Kicked Epstein Out Of\u00a0Mar-A-Lago<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bestselling author James Patterson said there is now discrimination against white male writers in Hollywood, particularly older ones, calling it \u201canother form of racism.\u201d Sunday Times interviewer Sarah Baxter noted that it was \u201castounding to think\u201d that Patterson\u2019s \u201csuccess as a young white author was founded on the character of a black detective,\u201d referring to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":1515349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1515253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1515253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1515253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1515349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1515253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1515253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1515253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
