Toronto-born singer Kaya Jones is calling out Hollywood Democrats over their alleged racism and sexism.
Jones, a former member of The Pussycat Dolls and one of the higher profile Republican celebrities out there, made a series of comments on the issue via Twitter.
The tweet that started it all came on February 26:
“The most racist and sexist individuals are the democrats in Hollywood. Women can’t be anything but dress wearing sluts and [minorities] can’t be anything but slaves, crazies, uneducated and drug addicts apparently. Well wake up! We aren’t defined by our gender or our skin tone!”

She continued:
“Stop making films/TV where natives are seen as crazy Indians, blacks are drug dealers or slaves, Mexicans are gardeners or drug lords [and] Whites are either plantation owners or hillbillies! Maybe America [wouldn't] have racism. You Hollywood is who fan the flame of hatred in this nation”.

Jones then shared an old photo of her family, which included her black grandfather.
Next she name dropped celebrities like Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lawrence.Hey Hollywood! Take a look at my mothers parents and family. My grandfather was a surgeon and a black man.Grandma was white adopted and he was her family. But I guess educated black people don’t fit the narrative of hate you show! We aren’t defined by our skin! So stop the BS! pic.twitter.com/IuNWajHFu4

Denzel Washington wins an Oscar playing a cop who’s unethical and a drug dealing murderer. But when Will Smith plays a doctor who helps find out about brain disease he can’t even get a nomination. Yup Hollywood is racist.

First time the oscars gave a black woman the best actress in a leading role was to Halle Berry for playing a drug addicted whore who was forced to get naked on camera. Jennifer Lawrance gets to play a great normal role who we all know slept her way to the top! Hollywood is racist
