AceShowbiz - Salma Hayek is speaking out against Donald Trump over his anti-Mexican comments. The "Everly" actress says she won't even say the name of "The Apprentice" host when asked how she felt after her called Mexican immigrants "rapists."
"Because I know him a little bit, is it's a mistake to respond because he will use this to promote himself," Salma tells New York Daily News, "The Mexican community may be upset that I wasn't saying something...but I refuse to utter his name and allow him to use me for self-promotion."
Donald previously said in his speech during his presidential announcement, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're sending people that have lots of problems. And they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists."
The Mexican beauty, who is known as an advocate against discrimination against immigrants, draws a conclusion of how Donald's comments underscored the prejudice immigrants face. "We have not, as Americans, grasped the level, the size, of the problem of discrimination in this country," she says. "We have been living a lie pretending we're a country that no longer discriminates."
Salma then indirectly slams Donald for his presidential running. "I will say this: America is not a beauty pageant. America is not a reality show," the "Frida" actress says, referring to his ownership of Miss Universe pageant and his TV show "Apprentice" on NBC, "The reality of America and the world is tougher."
