'I recognize that in reality, there is a widespread discrepancy amongst my industry that favors Caucasian, cisgender actors and that not every actor has been given the same opportunities that I have been privileged to,' the actress said.
July 15, 2019, 6:31 PM UTC"Avengers" actress Scarlett Johansson says comments she made on"political correctness" in casting have been taken out of context and asserts that she supports diversity in film.
“An interview that was recently published has been edited for click bait and is widely taken out of context,” Johansson said in a statement over the weekend to several media outlets, referring to an article published in As If magazine. “The question I was answering in my conversation with the contemporary artist, David Salle, was about the confrontation between political correctness and art.
"I feel like it’s a trend in my business and it needs to happen for various social reasons, yet there are times it does get uncomfortable when it affects the art because I feel art should be free of restrictions," she told As If."I think society would be more connected if we just allowed others to have their own feelings and not expect everyone to feel the way we do."
