In his latest film Imperium, Daniel Radcliffe, the actor most known for his role as "Harry Potter," plays an FBI agent who goes undercover to infiltrate a white supremacist group. Radcliffe told the BBC that this role forced him to think more about racial issues, and he’s come to a couple of conclusions: Hollywood is undeniably racist and for that matter, so is Donald Trump.

Radcliffe, who sits on the Oscar board that chooses winners, said, “It’s pretty undeniable” that Hollywood is racist. "We like to think of ourselves as being a very, very progressive industry, but we have been lagging behind in all kinds of areas,” he told BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire. He even believes that Hollywood isn’t a safe place for gay actors to come out for fear they may be typecast. 

Radcliffe said playing a role in Imperium caused him to consider if some of the opinions the white supremacist characters in the film espoused were now “mainstream.” He went on to say that Trump has “stirred up… fear and hatred.” 

But Radcliffe’s own political leanings shows he’s, at the very least, inconsistent with his new philosophy:

In 2012, the actor declared himself a supporter of the Labour Party, having previously backed the Liberal Democrats, and has since voiced support for leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Asked about recent allegations of anti-Semitism within Labour, Radcliffe - whose mother is Jewish - described them as "absolutely awful" and "shocking".

But he said he was still likely to back Labour at the next election "if it was a choice between that and the Conservatives".

Another case of "Do as I say, not as I do." That’s what’s wrong in Hollywood.
