Racism and misogyny primarily affect your ability to live (career, safety, education). Being a very wealthy POC in Hollywood is arguably a safer and better life than being a POC (or even a white person) living in a low-income, underdeveloped community. The same applies to women and men respectively. But racism & misogyny is still present sadly. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/samuel-l-jackson-magic-johnson-lazy-migrants-italy-tuscany-forte-dei-marmi-louis-vuitton-a7905026.html ‘If religion be the cause of disunity, then irreligion is surely to be preferred.’ ‘Abdu’l-Bahá Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have money, you have different problems than "regular" people. Money solves a lot but it brings double the issues and possibly death and assassinations. I am sorry but people thinking that your problems can't be serious or even worse than your average Joe's really can't seem to think critically. Chronic disease can't be cured either, no matter how much money you have. Let's not one up people's struggles and help people who needs help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to downplay this, I definitely agree with you in that sense. I just wonder why no one is considering the Queen's mental health in this? She's an elderly woman with a husband who has been sick and a family that is falling apart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be like invalidating Gaga’s fibromyalgia and depression because she’s rich. It doesn’t change a thing. While we all love Gaga, her wealth does enable her to receive fibro support and treatment. I am sure she recognizes that, and she did rightfully earn her wealth. I have a two chronic illnesses myself and I realize I'm fortunate because I can get financial support/work benefits. Without them, I couldn't enjoy a lot of other aspects in my life. Money sadly plays a large role. But you are right it isn't everything and doesn't invalidate it. It just gives people more flexibility and options to manage it.

I'm not mocking it personally, I just understand why others feel it's inappropriate given current times. I think we would all be better off if we also focused on trying to help the people who are making racist or misogynistic comments or actions, whether poor or Hollywood elite. The way I see it, they've had some sort of traumatic incident or exposure in their lives and they haven't been taught how to question it. It's like homophobia being a literal phobia. People who make homophobic comments are showing signs of being irrationally scared by homosexuals - we could help victims of these comments by essentially rehabilitating the person making the comment. So if anybody makes a racist or misogynistic comment or shows discriminatory judgment, it's worth calmly discussing why they did so. Canceling them or getting emotional with them unfortunately spurs the issue on because they feel attacked and will side closer with their original view.
