“Hateful Eight actor Samuel L. Jackson told reporters that he really, really wanted the person (or people) behind the San Bernardino shooting to be “another… crazy white dude” when he first heard the news.
Jackson sat down with The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Awards Chatter” podcast to discuss his acting career, his role in director Quentin Tarantino‘s latest film and whether or not he has a shot at the Oscars in 2016. However, the topic of racism quickly led to the San Bernardino shooting, terrorism and the place of American Muslims today.”
