The Root with the hard-hitting journalism of going after Ellie Kemper and Lin-Manuel Miranda for racism.

It’ very nit-picky. We scream about representation, and when someone does it, it still isn’t good enough and then we shit on the people who are on our side.
LMM has done more to promote minorities on stage and screen than anyone else in the last dozen years or so. Too fucking bad if there’s not enough of a particular minority featured in “In the Heights” - he shouldn’t have to apologize for shit.
Oh man, you didn’t check in to see how this insane stretch of a nothing-burger was getting roasted over at The Root? Cause it’s getting no traction there, and it feels like their readership should know.
Very click-baity and disingenuous. Words have meaning. And to attempt to slander someone who by all accounts is not racist, and probably didn’t know the meaning of the ball, its all kinds of fucked up.
It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.
Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…
Well they would be marginally better off in the sense that they would be the subject of one fewer barely-there barrel-scraping AV Club post.
So if Weinstein were a really nice guy, completely fair and ethical, never assaulted anybody, was a really crappy business man who lost all TWC’s money, had to declare bankruptcy, then sold off the company, how would these stars be any better off? Because the way I understand it, it’s the bankruptcy that gets…
Good advice but keep in mind this was written by a person who works for Jim Spanfeller.
The sad irony here is that probably most of the viewers of The Eric Andre Show are white people on drugs. I know this because....look it doesn’t matter why I know this
I wish we could leave Soon Yi out of this. Yes, Allen groomed her and abused his paternal trust. But Soon Yi doesn’t want to be part of this conversation or have her sex life litigated by strangers. It seems that the sexual relationship started when she was 18. It’s too muddy and detracts from Dylan’s story.
I’m going to be unpopular for this but I don’t care. There were 2 people in that teen relationship and just like most teen relationships it ended. It didn’t end well. They both wrote “you suck” songs off this teen relationships and made tons of money. THE MEDIA has made tons of money off this relationship that ended…
I don’t think you understand the definition of whataboutism.
Shit, I made a clerical error typing with autocorrect. I guess I’ll have to hang my head in shame and rethink my entire worldview, huh?
It’s weird that this is being set up like a freedom of speech issue. Like maybe pre-2017 or so back when the ideologically dogmatic were giving people all kinds of gruff people could complain about freedom of speech.
When your bigotry makes you so dumb that you either a) don’t have the people around you telling you to stop or b) you don’t listen to the people around you telling you to stop
Yeah, that’s a phenomenally stupid line. Of course, “ban the movie” and “review-bomb the related game” are also phenomenally stupid.
I’m Chinese myself, and... yeah, it’s kind of obnoxious, but I’m also kind of numb to China pitching a bitch about everything. This seems like a really petty thing comparatively.
