Oscar Nominated Karla Sofía Gascon Apologizes for Tweets Amid Backlash

the appology:

"I want to acknowledge the conversation around my past social media posts that have caused hurt," she said in a statement to Variety. "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."

she goes against the religion of peace

One 2020 post that was independently translated by Variety, attached to photo of a Muslim family in a restaurant, including a woman in a burka, reads: "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."

In another post from 2021, *Gascón wrote, "I am so sick of so much of this shit, of islam, of christianity, of catholicism and of all the fricking beliefs of morons that violate human rights."

insults St. Floyd

A post from 2020, shared just days after George Floyd was killed by a police officer and inspired protests across the U.S., she wrote, "Let me get this straight, a guy tries to pass off a counterfeit bill after consuming methamphetamine, an idiot policeman arrives and goes too far in arresting him, killing him, ruining the lives of his family and his colleagues, and turning the guy with the bill into a martyr hero," 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."

even disses the Oscars for being decent human beings

One of her posts about the 2021 Oscars reads, "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."

will her Trans-immunity help her hear?
