Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker has shared her reflections on the hit TV show and movie franchise, admitting that it didn't do enough to represent people of colour or the LGBTIQ+ community.
Speaking on a panel at the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything Festival, Jessica Parker said that while the show lacked diversity, it was a reflection of the time it was produced.
“There were no women of colour, and there was no substantial conversation about the LGBTQ community,” she said.
She continued: “You know, this city has changed – that was 20 years ago this June – this city has changed an enormous amount politically and economically and socially and I think it would be a different show, honestly.”
“I think Carrie Bradshaw is very much a product of her generation and I think her conversations about sexual politics and intimacy spoke to the years."
Parker, who has been a vocal supporter of former cast-mate Cynthia Nixon's campaign for New York Governor, also spoke about the #MeToo movement, saying that she'd be interested to hear Bradshaw's view.
“As always, those years prior to being a young adult inform your world-view," she said.
"I think that she would have a lot to say about this, and I would be curious to read [her] column if she could sit back and look at it.”
