‘Star Wars’ actor credits his success to white privilege
The American Mirror ^ | 3/6/15 | Olaf Ekberg

Posted on 03/06/2015 9:47:47 AM PST by Kyle Olson

It’s not Adam Driver’s acting skills that landed him prime roles in the upcoming “Star Wars” movie or HBO series “Girls.” It’s white privilege.

“It’s a little surreal,” Driver says of being cast by top Hollywood directors in a new VMan magazine interview.

“I love (Martin) Scorsese and (Steven) Spielberg – I probably watch Jaws twice a year. To work with them is a little out of body. It’s obviously extremely flattering, and weird. I’m a straight, white male, and I’ve had more opportunities than other people have, unjustly. And I’ve been lucky on top of that.”

If I knew who you are, I would make a concerted effort to ignore you.

The price of CONTINUED Hollywood success is dumping on whites.

He’s saying HE WANTS *MORE*.

Look at it for what it is: a cynical, calculated ploy. He is trying to establish his liberal credentials so he can get bigger roles in the future.

Then the only real answer is for you is to publicly renounce your White privilege by publicly commit suicide. This is the only sure way you can atone for the sins of your Whiteness and to ensure your absolution from all these White privileges you’ve unjustly benefited from and to ensure you never again gain anything due to your Whiteness.

I’m gonna cut the kid some slack. This poor kid grew up being indoctrinated by liberal dogma since birth. He has probably been hearing about microaggressions and trigger warnings and blamed for all the problems of the world because he’s a white male. And now he is completely brainwashed.

And come on. Some you have to have sympathy for the poor bastard. His brain ain’t working. Anyone who had to suffer through being in the same room and breathing the same air where that pig diddler Lena Dunham was naked has to be suffering some sort of major trauma.

I can assure Mr Driver I've never seen any of his movies.

So his prodigious whiteness holds no sway with me.

Then give me part of your payoff. It will help relieve some of that horrible guilt you feel. Really.

Twenty-five percent should do nicely. For another 10 percent, I'll relieve you of your patriarchal guilt as well.

But wait! There's more ...!

"I’m a straight, white male, and I’ve had more opportunities than other people have, unjustly. And I’ve been lucky on top of that."

Thanks for letting me know. I'll therefore skip your movie as my own personal protest against your white privilege.

He could always refuse the role and recommend instead a female or person of color to replace him.

So Scorcese and Spielberg are “racists”? I thought they were big-hearted liberals.
