Thanks! Angela Bassett perfectly answered after The New York Times misidentified him as Omarosa Manigault in a photo caption.
The newspaper published a photo printed on Tuesday, September 18, Tiffany Haddish and Bassett, 60, presenting Rachel Brosnahan with the Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding actress in a comedy series the night before. However, he badly labeled the 9-1-1 star as the former White House aide, 44, who did not even attend the awards ceremony.
After the readers reported the error on Twitter, the TimeThe communications department quickly apologized: "We regret that we have posted an incorrect caption in a photo reporting service at the beginning of some print editions. We will post a correction in tomorrow's newspaper. "

Bassett did not seem bothered by the mistake, though. "Hey everyone, no worries! xoAng "she tweeted Tuesday, alongside a GIF of Scandal star Kerry Washington saying, "He is manipulated."

Although the American horror story: Apocalypse actress kept her cool, many Twitter users were angry.
"Wow @nytimes, do all black, dark-skinned women look the same as your editors?" Joy Villa tweeted. "Queen Angela Bassett, superb and talented, is unlike any other. #NYTimes #majoreffup. "
TV Legal Analyst Midwin Charles "Hire more blacks and it will never happen again."
Another user tweeted, "Look, if the media expect me to know the difference between Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds, they should at least be able to distinguish Angela Bassett and Omarosa.
