'The 'Daily Show' took aim at Hollywood villain stereotypes, particularly of Muslims, that entrench negative perceptions of minority groups.
The late-night host then referenced her statement about playing any person as an actor, noting, "I understand why you might want to get defensive as a person. I can even understand why some white people might feel like they're under attack in and around these conversations.
He goes on to say, "We take for granted how much representation means to human beings, I think in two ways. One: in an inspirational front, and two: just how it shapes society." He uses an example of muslims being associated with terrorists and how that idea is "propagated by Hollywood," due to the the nationalities that typically portray terrorists on screen. Noah calls that type of imagery powerful because it puts an image of those people in the minds of the consumer.
"You'd think that a place that considers itself so liberal would try to find a place to represent people. There are middle Eastern stories that run the gamut," Noah points out. "There's a show on Hulu called, it shows you what it's like to be a muslim family living in America. It's authentic, and those stories are so important, not in a charity way, but in a 'great TV, great stories, great inclusivity' kind of way.
Noah ends the segment by saying that what Johansson doesn't necessarily understand is that people are not attacking her, they are pointing out that she has the "luxury" of choosing any type of role while others are often stereotyped into a particular box by society.
