What do you think about Scarlett Johansson's recent comments about politic correctness in Hollywood and the criticism towards her?

Obviously any actor has the right to accept any role. My issue is that actresses like Johansson get offered a variety of roles, while trans actors and actresses are overwhelmingly limited to playing the few trans characters seen in film. It's an issue with minority casting as well to a lesser extent. White actors will frequently play other races outright or characters that were written as minorities will be changed to white to suit the actor (though it's happening much less now) while minorities are rarely given that opportunity.

She is allowed to play any character she gets offered, but everyone else is allowed to have an opinion about the casting choice. I also think she contradicts herself by saying the "trend" needs to happen in the business yet goes on to say it's uncomfortable at times. She's only uncomfortable because it's her role that's being criticized.
