Miguel A Núñez Jr. says if 'juwanna' dress in drag for a role as an actor, that's fine by him ... but, he says Black actors who do it are held to an entirely different standard than their white counterparts.

00:00I hear about all this demasculating the men and all of that stuff.
00:05We only hear that shit from period.
00:08We only hear that from us.
00:09They don't come out against each other.
00:10I don't get it.
00:11I don't get the whole entire argument.
00:13I mean, I think they send it to demasculation of men or something, something like that.
00:16I don't see it that way.
00:18Absolutely.
00:19I did do want a man.
00:20I enjoyed it.
00:21It was a hell of a funny movie.
00:22You didn't see anybody come out against Dustin Hoffman when he did.
00:27It was an amazing movie.
00:29And I didn't see any white people come out and say, well, you know, he got on a dress.
00:31A white man got on a dress and he got on a dress.
00:34And then, and Robin Williams as Mrs. Doubtfire.
00:37Those were great movies.
00:40Those are great films.
00:41But I don't see how you can attribute Martin when he played Sheneneh.
00:47And Jamie Foxx was my favorite when he, what was the name with the lips?
00:51Oh my gosh, it was hilarious.
00:52I think that's as much as it should go.
00:55A man doing a comedy, it's just like Robin Williams and Tootsie and Joanna Mann and Sheneneh.
01:01Those were all comedies.
01:02And if you're putting more into that, that means there's something wrong in your life.
01:06I believe that means there's something wrong with you.
01:08That means you're looking at life in a different way.
01:11You're not supposed to look at life judging about everything and you're just not how life
01:15goes.
01:16There must be something wrong with you.
01:18So there must be some questions in you.
01:20If you question, if you're seeing it other than a funny, you're seeing it anything other
01:25than this entertainment, what it is out there and it's funny and it's that, oh my God, it's
01:28great.
01:29You see it anything other than that, it's with you, period.
01:33And I'll bring that up to anybody.
01:36I don't see it any other way.
