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.”

The more Schumer opens her mouth the worse it will get for her. No producer wants to cast a loose cannon and she is putting herself in that mold.

It will take two women to fill her role, size-wise.

Don’t underestimate her lack of intelligence.

Notice that white liberal politicians don’t seem to ever
muster enough white guilt to step aside to allow any
minorities to give it a go.

Somehow this story just got stupider.

Amy Schumer is box office poison. This should be the last we see of her.

Yep! They are too busy helping race mongering racial extortionistsc to shake down corporations like Starbucks
for kicking out loiterers around their cafes. Then the corporations have to pay millions for racial sensitivity training to corporate training operations run by the likes of Al Sharpton.We are living in the re-education gulags like Russia, thanks to these effing white liberal politicians.

What a a laugh.Both white and black liberal politicians are nothing but cultural warfare criminal extortionists persecuting the country with demographic warfare.

She feels terribly guilty and regrets being who she is. Let me analyze that with DemocRat glasses on.

She feels guilty for existing and her life is miserable. Therefore, her mother was cruel by not aborting her, so that she would not have to suffer so.

This is all her mother’s fault!
