Featuring a Hollywood actor on “The View” is usually a safe bet for the ladies who seem incapable of talking about anything but identity politics.
Even better if that actor belongs to one or more minority groups.
On Tuesday, however, the hosts interviewed one legendary actor who refused to play along with their left-wing talking points: Billy Dee Williams, best known for his role as Lando Calrissian in the original “Star Wars” trilogy.
Sunny Hostin, the host who was in the news recently for learning some of her ancestors were slave owners, asked Williams about his early career, saying, “So you did start … in the industry at a time when few people of color were on TV and in movies.”
Before she could go on, though, Williams said, “Everybody is a ‘people of color.’” Hostin amended her words to say, “Well, a black man.”
