Amy Schumer laments ‘I Feel Pretty’ casting, says minority should have her starring role
Washington Times ^ | April 20, 2018 | Douglas Ernst

Comedian Amy Schumer said her starring role in “I Feel Pretty” should have gone to a minority actress with a “harder” life story.

[snip]

“It’s not about an ugly, vile troll getting beautiful,” the actress said in response to critics of the movie’s premise. “It’s about a girl who really struggles with self-esteem, which is something we can all relate to. So, it just made me excited for people to see the movie. But also, I think it is fair to say that, you know, that it’s a lot harder for other people … 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 and I hope we get there. This is hopefully just a step in the right direction.”

If she realy felt bad she’d give her entire salary for the role to minorities.

I dont think she feels that bad.

White guilt is so in vogue these days.

We could start a white guilt slave plantation resort with Black Masters and whips as a “White Guilt Resort” where guilty white people can pay millions to take on their white guilt in a serious way by living the experience of their guilt for real.

Such a resort owner would make millions staging all of the plantation scenarios that would attract the sick Amy Schumers of the politically correct world.

Not only is this woman irredeemably ugly, she is stupid beyond belief. Her brain has been infiltrated by a politically correct fungus. I have to come across the name of this fungus in the literature, but I am sure it is extremely deleterious with a potent infective potential.

Does that mean we’ll never see her take a role in any movie or on any TV show? Whatever roles should would have applied for or offered, she would have a “minority” take it instead?

Glad to hear we won’t ever have to see Amy again, and if we do, we’ll have to call her a “big, fat, hypocrite”.

She hates Trump, but Trump would call that...

WINNING!!!!!!

Then she could blame the movie’s failure on “racism” rather then that she could not write her way out of a wet paper bag.

Let me run with “Ugly, fat and stupid is such a sad combo.”

Amy Schumer the star of “Ugly, Fat, and Stupid” said the a minority woman should have had her roll.

What a waste of calories that blumpkin is.

From the picture, I thought a tranny had the lead role but I guess that’s Amy.

Amy is obligated to spew the “Communist Party Line”
she has to oblige , because it’s All In The Family
she owes her career to her dear Uncle Chuck Schumer

Well quit talking about it and just do it. In fact give any and all work you get to a ‘more deserving minority’ you fricken hypocrite.

Shame on Schumer - she's engaged in cultural appropriation - I Feel Pretty (West Side Story) has always been a minority thing.....

I think all of her roles should go to minorities.

So Libtard “caucasians” should now refuse all acting roles so that persons of “color” can have them.

Your form of “reparations” Amy!!
