she tweeted
Leslie Jones has hit back at critics who slammed her character inGhostbustersas stereotypical.
And why cant I be the one who plays them I am a performer.
Just go see the movie!
But its been over 30 years and the dynamic of three white scientists and street-wise minority is dated.
Ernie Hudson starred in the original film, and was theonly non-white memberof the Ghostbusters team.
The character was gone.
So that was pretty devastating.
Its a Ghostbusters thang, she wrote.
And as far as Im concerned, we all Ghostbusters!!
Regular People save the world everyday so if Im the stereotype!!
Then so be it!!
We walk among Heroes and take them for granted.
