Yep it's chalked acting.... Liberals are crazy gang

Of course she is 100% right. That’s literally what acting is. Only racist and bigots would bring race and sex into the conversation.

Its interesting how times have changed since when Hillary Swank was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress for 'Boys Don't Cry' in 1999

She's absolutely right, she can play any role she wants and the public has a right to avoid her movies like the plague.😑

Scarlett Johansson defends right to accept transgender and Asian rolesAvengers: Endgame star has now insisted ‘art should be free of restrictions’. This is becoming ridiculous.
