Amy Schumer REALLY WISHES a “woman of color” was the star of the movie she’s the star of.
She TOOK THE ROLE. So um. What is she even talking about? She could have just turned the role down if her White Guilt was so consuming.
This is idiotic.
According to the Daily Caller:
Amy Schumer confirmed she is, in fact, white Friday on “The View.”
She stated that she would have liked if a “woman of color” was the star the new movie “I Feel Pretty,” the movie that she herself, a white woman, chose to star in.
Amy Shamu feels white guilt that her new film #IFeelPretty doesn’t star a woman of color instead of her. 😆 https://t.co/JTwAXAtLu2

The backlash was people were saying your character is a blonde of healthy weight who is attractive, and you’re supposed to make us believe that you are ugly? How do you respond to that?”
“First of all, that’s the nicest backlash I’ve ever heard,” Schumer said.
I wouldn’t call Amy Schumer attractive, but that’s probably because I’m blinded by my dislike for her.
“No, it just made me excited for people to see the movie,” she said. “It’s not about an ugly, vile troll getting beautiful. It’s about a girl who really struggles with self-esteem, which is something we can all relate to.”
That’s… harsh. Is she saying people who aren’t “blonde of healthy weight who are attractive” are “vile trolls?” Reign it in, princess!
“Also, I think it is fair to say that it’s a lot harder for other people,” she added, “and I recognize that I am a caucasian, like — I would love if this movie were starring a woman of color who’s had it way harder than me, and I think, I hope we get there. This is hopefully just a step in the right direction.”
WTF DOES THIS EVEN MEAN?
WHY DO “WOMEN OF COLOR” HAVE IT WAY HARDER THAN AMY SCHUMER?
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM, RIGHT? SHOULD “WOMEN OF COLOR” HAVE LOWER SELF-ESTEEM THAN AMY SCHUMER?!?!??!?
Yeah… I know she was trying to be SJW-ey about it. But this was a major fail.
White Guilt never sounds anything but stupid.
