Hastings says he fired the company's top spokesman over use of the N-word. The spokesman, Friedland, confirmed in tweets Friday, June 22, 2018, that he was leaving the company, saying he was insensitive in speaking with his team about words that offend in comedy.

Netflix Inc, which fired its chief spokesman last week for racially insensitive remarks, is overhauling its human-resources effort to build a workforce that looks more like its global customers: less male, more Latino and more black.
Netflix has hired an executive to lead its diversity and inclusion campaign after a months-long search, according to the company, which declined to provide the name of the individual. The opening was listed on its website as recently as two weeks ago.
