British actress Cathy Tyson says “woke” is “as bad” as a racial slur in a new interview.
A British actress has claimed that being called the word “woke” is “as bad” as a racial slur.
“The terms ‘woke’ and ‘race card’ are deeply offensive to me,” she continued, noting that the latter “is thrown in your face if you make a criticism of anything” while the former is tossed around to “undermine” progressive ideas. “My mother was called, you know, a ‘N-lover’, by certain people,” she told the outlet of growing up in the Toxeth neighborhood around the time of the infamous 1981 riots over tensions between police and the black community.
“I saw what they went through. I also dressed up in a miniskirt and walked down Bradford High Street one day with my hair out, just to see what looks I would get. And I got some scornful looks from women, and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s what they’re faced with every day’; it’s difficult to live in that environment, where you’ve got such hostility towards you.”
In a reflection on the industry, Tyson said that casting should be “color-blind, size-blind, age-blind.”
