In other words, to take a line from famed enviro-wanker, epidemiologist and race relations ex-spurt: "HOW DARE YOU!" Scowlee face required. Eating their own. Mas popcorn.

Whew! That was close, huh, Halle? You got out of it without having to say, “Yeah, no.”

In 2020, Hollywood should know better than to cast people who are not confused about basic biology in roles about people who are.

When a fire occurs with fatal results and the ME has to go in, the dna is gonna be X or Y. No ‘not sures’.

Not much of a struggle avoiding being a ‘wokanista’ over here.

I’ll bet you a dollar it doesn’t work the other way around.

Reject a gay actor for a straight role, and all hell will break loose.

She's half white.

Her future acting jobs may be limited to roles portraying biracial women with heterosexual tendencies.

Isn't that what actors do? An actor accepts the role and then plays it. Any competent actor can play the role of a mentally-ill person who mutilates their own body. The real storytelling is done by the writer who creates the characters and story line. The article writer's concern for realism is misplaced.

But it is fun to watch the libs eat their own. I'm sure Halle Berry is woke enough that this criticism will tie her into knots. I'm sure a big apology is coming.

An Oscar winning actress considering a role outside of her “normal” life. What a nightmare.

Who the hell will play Captain America—if being the subject of a secret Army project to beat the nazis is a requirement?

So by description, actors portray someone they are not. That ends at skin color, gender, sexual orientation, disability. Any other taboo areas? Can we shoot the woke now?

From now on, Batman can only be portrayed by a wealthy orphan, rich actors can no longer portray poor characters, and anyone who has ever portrayed a slaveholder on screen shall be prosecuted for hate crimes in real life.
