The White House has termed the apology issued by Sony Pictures executives for sending "derogatory emails" about President Barack Obama as "appropriate" after they were leaked following a cyber attack on the Hollywood studio.
A string of Sony Pictures emails compromised during the recent cyber attack had revealed a slew of racially-charged messages exchanged between Producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal targeting Obama, reported Sky News.
The emails discussed what films Obama might want to talk about at a fundraising breakfast. The duo suggested movies centred on black characters and featuring black actors including, "Django Unchained," "12 Years A Slave," "The Butler" and "Ride Along,"
Pascal issued a statement saying that the content of the email were "insensitive and inappropriate" and were not an accurate reflection of who she was.
