Was he talking about the Captain America Superbowl commercial?

We'll never know since Jackson derailed the conversation before the reporter finished his thought.

I don't think it was so much an honest mistake as it was a symptom of the general "tokenness" that most non-white actors still have to deal with on the vast majority of their gigs.

We all mess up in our jobs every now and then. It was an honest mistake.
