Bruce Lee’s Daughter on Tarantino: ‘I’m Really xxxxxx Tired of White Men’

Bruce Lee’s daughter has spoken up to say she finds Quentin Tarantino’s take on her father exhausting.

“I’m really xxxx tired of white men in Hollywood trying to tell me who Bruce Lee was,” Shannon Lee wrote in a Hollywood Reporter guest column response to the director’s comments about her dad made on Joe Rogan’s Spotify podcast.

“I’m tired of hearing from white men in Hollywood that he was arrogant and an xxxx when they have no idea and cannot fathom what it might have taken to get work in 1960s and ’70s Hollywood as a Chinese man with (God forbid) an accent, or to try to express an opinion on a set as a perceived foreigner and person of color. I’m tired of white men in Hollywood mistaking his confidence, passion and skill for hubris and therefore finding it necessary to marginalize him and his contributions. I’m tired of white men in Hollywood finding it too challenging to believe that Bruce Lee might have really been good at what he did and maybe even knew how to do it better than them.”

She’s clearly a Democrat because
she’s an angry victim of something\\

I don’t think it’s just dems.

I’ve come to the conclusion that
academia , being grounded in
Secular Humanism,
purposely Pavlov conditions
a messianic complex
into students
and society.

They all think they’re saving humanity
and the world.

They have no salvation,
they desire Salvation

They become , in their minds,
salvation themselves , world saviors.

And they are gonna save us wether
we want it or not.

And they are gonna save mother earth,
and they would murder the whole
world to get that done.

Jmho.

Yes, many non-Democrats have a messiah complex that is reinforced by secular schools, culture, and often parents.

But the victim mentality is an attribute almost exclusively of the left.

Tarantino does not make nice films.
There are hardly any nice characters in his movies.
Hollywood has a problem. Tarantino is only a small part.
But she decides to blame ALL white men.

You are free to hate whoever you want.
You are not free to act on it violently or mess with other people’s property.

That Bruce Lee scene in "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" was pretty awesome.

I liked how Brad Pitt shoved him into that automobile on the second round of their fight. Bruce Lee's head put quite the dent in it!
