well you're still white Jodie...

[galactoze]

yes, but still. Someone like John Boyega definitley has to work harder than her.

OK, sorry. You're right. However I was still angry because I remembered her maga boyfriend.

Can we stop just randomly throwing the popular black person of the moment into things to be contrary??? It’s the opposite effect a lot of people think they are having....

[galactoze]

Yeah, you're right. I was just annoyed because I think she's the one with the maga boyfriend

I live in Portland...

Seriously. As a bipoc, I'm getting really tired of being the fucking linchpin in weak ass equity/equality arguments. Self-righteous/woke whites do this more than any of my black or native relatives/homies right now and it's fucking insufferable.

And doing it bc someone doesn't like someone's boyfriend seems extra gross. It's using race to deride some else bc of shit another racist has done.

It's like saying 'Yeah well you don't have is as tough as the Blacks' to seem smart or win an argument is it's own type of exploitation

I'm really sorry. I did not think well enough before commenting. Thanks for expressing your concern and I will try to learn!

Hey, kiddo, I wasn't trying to call you out. I just was thinking it through for myself for the first time too! Shit's complicated 🖤

Ah, I'm glad that Covid hasn't managed to stop the Oppression Olympics from happening.

All other things being equal, she had to work twice as hard as a young, blonde actress from a posher background. She isn't claiming she had a harder time then black actors.

Yes, you're right. I just remembered the maga bf post and was angry again. But that's a different story. If the system in the uk is that fucked regarding acting opportunities she's right.

What she said doesn’t negate that or imply that she’s worked harder than him at all. Both of these things can be true.
