Hi,
I just wanted to point out that Gina Rodriguez won this award 2 years ago and she too is a woman of color. I of course don’t want to dismiss Tracee Ellis Ross’ achievement or her well earned victory, but I just wanted to correct your claim. Anyways, we should celebrate all women of color and I hope this win, as well as Gina’s, is part of the change in tide of Hollywood’s visibility of people of color. Congrats to Tracee!!

Yes, you are so right! Thanks for pointing this out. (It wasn’t our claim, but the article’s, but we didn’t double check.) Black woman and woman of color are obviously not the same thing, though I’m thinking that might have been what the author meant.
