The Left almost always practices what it condemns.

Why don't they cast Justin Trudeau...if you know what I mean.

Bill Maher also did his closing monologue on this topic. Thank you for calling out these so call activists. They keep it up, and films will no longer be made and they’ll be out of work altogether.

Super ridiculous. Apparently Franco's ancestry is from the same region as Castro's father anyway. As if it mattered.

We are living in a time where every single group is being put into silos and told what they think and feel - if they don't think or feel the way 'everyone' else thinks and feels they are at best an exception at worst dangerously wrong. It doesn't matter at this point whether we are talking skin colour, religion, nationality culture, sex etc. get into your silo and let someone else frame who you are. And please tell me what to do when someone is trying to stick you into 2 or 3 different silos that supposedly clash with each other and now you don't even exist because it is Impossible to be as you are...

It is quite condescending when these woke journalists claim they can represent an entire race/ethnic group. It's as crazy as the young adult fiction industry hiring sensitivity readers, who then get to represent what an entire group would be feeling. It's like they're telling them they don't have enough agency to formulate their own opinion.

I don't know much about James Franco I don't know much about him playing field Castro whether he's good or not I have no idea it's all new to me I'm sure if he gets the proper script he could probably sound and be a little bit like him but I don't know if that's something I want to watch I don't know so it was neutral
