“It’s a good idea to dare to go to any Arab country. Full planned invasion of the West while they expel the infidels by trickery.”

Karla Sofía Gascón has come under controversy after someone uncovered her old tweets. The Spanish actress is nominated at the Oscars for her titular role in Netflix’s Emilía Peréz, and her past racist behavior is being criticized by movie lovers online.
Karla Sofía Gascón is the first openly trans actor to win Best Actress at the Golden Globes and the first to be nominated for an Academy Award. Journalist Sarah Hagi resurfaced more than a dozen of her old tweets from 2020 to 2021 about various ethnic and religious groups. In several posts, the star shared Islamaphobic sentiments about residents in Spain and also criticized the Oscars for looking like an “Afro-Korean festival” in 2021.

Hours after the racist posts went viral, Gascón shared a statement apologizing for her actions. “I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt,” she said. “As someone in a marginalized community, I know this suffering all too well and I am deeply sorry to those I have caused pain. All my life I have fought for a better world. I believe light will always triumph over darkness.”
“It’s a good idea to dare to go to any Arab country. Full planned invasion of the West while they expel the infidels by trickery.”
“There are, more or less, between Muslims and Christians, some 4.7 billion believers in the world; Einsteins, Galileos, Davichis, Socrates, Platos, Asimoves, Hawkings….only one of them. Mass does not define validity, intelligence or knowledge, it only defines quantity.”
“I really think that very few people ever cared about George Floyd, a drug addict swindler, but his death has served to once again demonstrate that there are people who still consider black people to be monkeys Without rights and consider policemen to be assassins. They’re all wrong.”
“Too many things to reflect on regarding the behavior of our species every time an event occurs. Perhaps it is no longer a question of racism, but of social classes that feel threatened by each other. Maybe that’s the only real difference.”
“Until we ban religions that go against Eurpoean 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. Faith manipulates those who cling to faith.
“Islam is marvelous, without any machismo. Women are respected, and when they are so respected they are left with a little squared hole on their faces for their eyes to be visible and their mouths, but only if she behaves. Although they dress this way for their own enjoyment. How DEEPLY DISGUSTING OF HUMANITY.” The post included a picture of an Arab family in a restaurant.
“Imagine what these Arabs would say if every time they come to Europe, we demanded permission from their wives, or forced them to wear socks with flip-flops and a mask covering their faces. Or better yet, sentence them to death for greeting other men with kisses on the mouth.”
“Islam fails to comply with international rights and must be banned as long as it does not comply with DDHH.” (DDDH is an abbreviation for human rights in Spanish law.)
“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. Apart from that, an ugly, ugly gala.”
“I’m Sorry, Is it just my impression or is there more muslims in Spain? 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. Next year instead of English we’ll have to teach Arabic.”
“We have so many people confused, the more they talk about education at home, the less educated the parents are. It goes hand in hand. Schools must guarantee the free development of thought, precisely to avoid the lack of freedom of development at home. Check out Arabs.””
“Let me get this straight: if you say that the f—king Moors are back killing them, that’s racism. But if a Libyan terrorist starts stabbing white people in a park in England, that’s justice for oppression. The greatest backwardness in rights is in Islam.”
