Perhaps it's not as terrible as was made out to be. As we know power is about the control of resources and they have access to resources, which means they do have power. And her rant was abuse of power.She knows exactly who butters her bread, gets her into boardrooms, and pays her bills. I’m not surprised. This message was not directed at black people.
I find it ironic that in this same paragraph, she also refutes the “Asian hate” argument and even casts herself against the AsiansInHolywood thing they were pushing last year about her people being typecasted and denied roles. They also don’t seem to need admission help with California colleges. After all, she and her people are clearly able to “compete fairly” and therefore her and her people need no concessions from this nation or its industries . Because Clearly it’s a “meritocracy”.
Truthfully, you can’t line sit with the whole racism thing. Denying the argument for one group denies it for yourself as well.
