Liberals are so opened-minded that their brains have fallen out.
Actor Jamie Foxx has complained that a movie he made several years ago in 2019 may never get released due to cancel culture.
Critics of the film are offended because Foxx is featured in whiteface while white actor, Robert Downey Jr., plays the role of a Mexican man.
Foxx sounded off about the issue during an interview with CinemaBlend.
“It’s been tough with the lay of the land when it comes to comedy,” he said. “We’re trying to break open the sensitive corners where people go back to laughing again.”
“You played the black dude and you killed that s***,” he reportedly said at the time. “We got to be able to do characters.”
Foxx revealed that the film titled “All-Star Weekend,” which costars actor Jeremy Piven of “Entourage,” might never make it into the American public.
The movie is about two basketball fanatics who score tickets to a major NBA event.

Noting that the film had cast Downey Jr. in the role of a Mexican man, Foxx suggested that woke culture might not accept his film.
Foxx plays several roles himself in the movie, including that of a racist white police officer — and he explained that was one of the reasons he believed Downey Jr. was perfect for the role. Referencing the “Iron Man” actor’s turn in blackface in the war comedy “Tropic Thunder,” he explained that he had had to convince Downey Jr. to take the role…
In addition to Foxx, Downey Jr., and Piven, “All-Star Weekend” has an all-star cast including Benicia del Toro, Gerard Butler, and Eva Longoria — and according to Foxx, the one thing he heard back after every early screening of the film was just how much people were laughing. “Hopefully we’ll keep them laughing,” he said.
