Ah, virtue signalers. Aren't they cute? They don't think the rest of us can't see past their BS, but it's just so damn obvious when you take the circumstances in which they convey their "tolerance" into account.
Take actress Molly Ringwald, for example.
She recently did an interview with Variety's Clayton Davis - a black man (keep that in mind) - while receiving their Creative Vanguard Award at the Miami Film Festival this past Saturday, and the "Sixteen Candles" star made a very...um, racist observation about her 1980s John Hughes film that gave her stardom.
As reported by Breitbart, Ringwald said the following:
“Those movies, the movies that I am so well known for, they were very much of the time. And if you were to remake that now I think it would have to be much more diverse. And it would have to be, you know, you couldn’t make a movie that white. Those movies are really, really, very white,” Ringwald said.

Maybe if all these idiots would stop interpreting everything there is in terms of race some of this crap would settle down. “Golly I keep clawing and scratching at this sore and tearing the scab off but it just won’t heal.”
And woke actor-things are really, really dumb.
Why does anyone even care what this has-been says?
White liberal women are the greatest danger to America. They will suffer the most from their bad policies and blame white men for the destruction they themselves caused.
The DEI instructor got silence and puzzled looks. She pressed, and finally one of the black students said that white people had always been nice to her. The others murmured in agreement, with one explaining that black criminals were the worst problem they had as black people.
The DEI instructor quickly pivoted. How about cops? What bad experiences had the black students had with the police? The students again reacted with silence and puzzled looks. One young woman offered that there needed to be more cops in poor neighborhoods and in the schools. There was general agreement.
Did the students have white friends, the DEI instructor asked? They did. One woman explained that she was adopted and that her adoptive family was white and very nice to her. She had her own room and they had a pool.
The DEI lobby and liberal elites may wallow in unmerited guilt over race. The country has moved on.
They were also very good.
Meh....never really thought she was all that attractive.
He made films about what he knew.
Spike Lee made films overwhelmingly about Black people.
Woody Allen made films about neurotic NY Jews.
Francis Ford Coppola made films about NY Italians in the mafia.
Shock Shock. Directors tend to cover what they personally know.
Long Duck Dong wasn’t enough? He got an Oscar out of it.
Yes, Molly was playing up to the Black interviewer, and yes, she’s falling in with the woke attitudes of the day, but look, this was a comment people made at the time, and back then it wasn’t necessarily political. Hughes was even prejudiced against Croatians, for Pete’s sake. Whether it was about whiteness or not, his was a limited and in its way privileged world.
Molly can always claim that she was brought up not to see color. If I remember rightly, her father was a blind musician.
She plans to return the racist payola she got…………never.
I’m sure she protested loudly at the borderline racist portrayal of Asians in “Sixteen Candles”. [/s]
It’s not a good movie.
What do you mean spinster? She’s married with three kids. Do you just post bull crap all day?
the BC was detention making the all white cast bad students.
White peoples make the best movies
Yeah that’s what denzel told me.
The comment in the video was innocuous; she didn't apologize for anything.
