All these people jumping through hoops to defend Tilda Swinton seem to be missing out on a very important point about all this. Just because someone does something to you in polite terms doesn’t mean what they were doing was nice.

She shouldn’t have taken a role that should have gone to a person who is Asian. If she really did not know, and honestly, I .... really that seems ... if she really did not know and she found out afterward how hard is it to just accept you messed up?

Where has anyone called Swinton a racist asshole? You’re so out of pocket here. The only intense outrage is coming from the people who are just flabbergasted that anyone would dare criticize a well-intentioned white person.

Yeah, I don’t think she misrepresented the exchange at all. I think she added in her perspective of feeling weird about it and how it was a microaggression. But, her telling of events is the same, just told with a bit of anger and sarcasm attached.

I’m asian. Putting that out there to give my street cred.
