Chris Rock is throwing his hat in the simmering debate over pay gaps in Hollywood.

Jennifer Lawrence recently spurred debate on pay in the film industry, issuing a public statement on the issue and penning an essay for Lena Dunham's Lenny Letter newsletter about being paid less than "American Hustle" male co-stars Jeremy Renner, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper.

"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable! F- that," she concluded in the essay, titled "Why Do I Make Less Than My Male Costars?"

Rock pointed out she might find things even harder if she was an actresses of color.

"Black women have the hardest gig in show business," he told the New Yorker in a recent profile about "Saturday Night Live" star Leslie Jones. "You hear Jennifer Lawrence complaining about getting paid less because she's a woman - if she was black, she'd really have something to complain about."

Still, a 2014 Media, Diversity & Social Change Initiative study conducted by the University of California's Annenberg School found Latinas have it worst of all.

Of the 600 top-grossing films over a six-year period beginning in 2008, less than five percent of speaking characters were Latino, despite the group accounting for more than three times that percentage of the U.S. population. In addition, as much as 25 percent of all moviegoers were found to be Latino.

As recently as last year, Latinos were again largely ignored when it came to prominent film roles. The few headlining opportunities for Latinos in mainstream productions included leading roles from Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Guzman ("The Boy Next Door"), and supporting roles from Michelle Rodriguez ("Furious 7"), and Oscar Isaac and Lupita Nyong'o ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens").

According to Variety, after more than 20 years as a road comic, Jones got her big "SNL" break when Rock went to bat for her with top-raking producers of the show.
