Actress Zoe Saldana says the election of Donald Trump taught her that sexism is a more “aggressive” problem than racism in America.
“There was a realization that I just had in this last election is that, that America is racist — of course, there’s racism everywhere, I’m not saying that there isn’t — but I think that sexism is much stronger and it’s much more aggressive,” the Guardians of the Galaxy star said in an interview on SiriusXM’s “Sway in the Morning.”
Saldana conceded that there are women in various leadership positions today, but argued that “CEOs are primarily males” and “art is primarily male-driven.”
“I found it really offensive that Hillary Clinton was just questioned in a way that ‘let’s just question your incompetence because you couldn’t even like handle your [private email] server,'” the actress said, using the recent presidential election as an example.
“I’m just like, ‘People, she’s up against a man that calls women pigs on national television and she’s incompetent?'” Saldana continued. “There’s a big problem here and we have to address this pink elephant in the room. And it has to do with sexism in America.”
“I’m not troubled by the way I look,” Saldana, a Latina who has Haitian roots, said. “Maybe I didn’t get that part because I didn’t deserve it. There are other factors besides people always coming after you.”
“We got cocky and became arrogant and we also became bullies,” she said. “We were trying to single out a man for all these things he was doing wrong … and that created empathy in a big group of people in America that felt bad for him and that are believing in his promises.”

The woman is so insecure about being short, she has to endanger her feet an ankles with lifts
Looks ambiguous.
Paraphrasing Jerry Doyle’s take on acting, he said that if somebody wants to pay you a lot of money and give you dozens of chances to get the job right, take it.
Or does the tattooing demonstrate a lack of foresight?
Whenever Hollywood bimbos (and I mean that in a totally gender inclusive way) bless us with their political wisdom, it brings to mind a line from the movie version of Get Smart.
The bad guys were discussing their plan to set off a nuclear bomb in Hollywood.
Shtarker: Too bad about all the dead movie stars.

Only if she keeps her mouth closed when it is not full.
She’s the green woman in Guardians and the blue one in Avatar. And of course the black one in Trek.
I recall Shirley Chisholm saying the same thing 45 years ago.
A woman that works in an industry where 95% of the females have to prostitute themselves out in order to make a living complaining about sexism in politics.
Because Obama was able to scrub clean his record while there wasn’t enough bleach in the world to clean Hillary’s past.
Zoe calling me, would give me a hard feeling.
And I’m still wondering why we should care what this rich and privileged little twit thinks of anything.
X-tremely not guilty
In other words, she's a colored person.
