Legendary actress Meryl Streep is facing a huge backlash for speaking her mind and saying her truth at the Berlin International Film Festival.

During her response on the lack of diversity on the all-white international jury, for which she is the president of, Streep responded by saying that she is committed to equality and inclusion “of all genders, races, ethnicities, religions.”

“There is a core of humanity that travels right through every culture, and after all we’re all from Africa originally,” Streep said. “You know, we’re all … Berliners, we’re all Africans really.”

Scientists have been studying the origins of mankind and some of the oldest bones and proof has been found in Africa soooooooo is Meryl really wrong in what she said?
