Part 6/11:
Critics argue there’s a stark hypocrisy in how the outrage is framed depending on the individual involved. For example, social media users are quick to accuse a person of racial bias when they are of a different ethnicity than those attacking them. If a white actor made a similar comment about Hollywood or the film industry, the backlash might be framed quite differently—likely emphasizing discrimination or harassment against white actors.
Conversely, when Black fans or activists accuse someone like Masood of racism, it often results in bordering on cancel culture, with little to no nuance. The loaded environment encourages quick judgments, often fueled by media narratives that push identity politics.
