Karla Sofia Gascon, the first openly transgender actress nominated for an Oscar, faces criticism after resurfaced tweets revealed troubling views on George Floyd and Islam. Following the backlash, she deleted several tweets that included comments denigrating Floyd and expressing controversial opinions about Muslims in Spain. Gascon suggested that concerns about racism were really social class conflicts and controversially stated that Islam poses societal risks. The controversy highlights broader conversations about race, faith, and representation amid evolving societal standards.
I truly believe that very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug addict and a hustler, but his death has served to highlight once again that there are those who still consider Black people to be monkeys without rights and those who consider the police to be murderers. All wrong.
Until we ban religions that go against European values and violate human rights, such as Islam, under the protection of freedom of worship, we will not end part of the huge problem we face.
Every time I go to pick up my daughter from school there are more women with their hair covered and their skirts down to their heels. Maybe next year instead of English we'll have to teach Arabic.
More and more the #Oscars are looking like a ceremony for independent and protest films, I didn't know if I was watching an Afro-Korean festival, a Black Lives Matter demonstration or the 8M.
