NyPo has the details:
Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal and movie producer Scott Rudin mocked President Obama’s race in embarrassing emails — the latest to be released in a hack of Sony Pictures.
Before Pascal attended a fundraising breakfast hosted by DreamWorks’ Jeffrey Katzenberg with Obama in November 2013, she emailed Rudin for ideas about what she should ask the commander-in-chief, Buzzfeed reported.
“What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?” she emailed.
Rudin responded: “Would he like to finance some movies.”
Pascal: “I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?”
The 2012 Quentin Tarantino movie “Django Unchained” was about slavery in the antebellum South.
Rudin: “12 YEARS.”
The 2013 Academy Award winner “12 Years a Slave” depicted the abuse suffered by a free black man forced into slavery.
Pascal guessed Obama had a preference for movies by or starring African-Americans. “Or the butler. Or think like a man? [sic]”
Rudin: “Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart.”...
Pascal gave $5,000 to Obama’s re-election campaign and made out a check for $30,800 to the Democratic National Committee, according to OpenSecrets.-RW
I couldn't see that they were mocking his race, but they were obviously mocking his racism.
