Why do "woke" white Hollywood elites IGNORE minorites they claim to "honor"?



Anyone notice a pattern in Hollywood lately? It goes like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------
"WOKE" HOLLYWOOD STUDIO EXECS: Hey we got a GREAT idea! We're gonna HONOR famous gay trailblazers like George Takei by making Sulu GAY in the next Star Trek movie! I'm sure George will LOVE it! It's a TRIBUTE to him! Isn't that right, George?

GEORGE TAKEI: Well, ummm, actually, I don't like that idea at all. That's lazy storytelling. You should create an ORIGINAL gay character. I played Sulu as straight... You retcon the character as gay and its actually insulting my acting skill-

"WOKE" HOLLYWOOD STUDIO EXECS: Yeah, WHATEVER, George! John Cho's gonna give you a phone call tomorrow asking for advice on how to portray a gay man.

GEORGE TAKEI ::facepalm::

"WOKE" HOLLYWOOD STUDIO EXECS: Hey we got a GREAT idea! We're gonna honor LATINX trailblazers like Rita Moreno by hiring ONLY LATINX people to play Puerto Ricans in the remake of West Side Story! I'm sure the LATINX community will LOVE it! Isn't that right, guys?!

HISPANIC AMERICANS: Well, ummm, actually, we REALLY dislike being called 'Latinx'. That word makes no sense in Spanish at all. Please STOP using it! Almost nobody who is ACTUALLY Hispanic refers to themselves that way and many of us find it offensive that non-Spanish speakers would invent their own word and try to force--

"WOKE" HOLLYWOOD STUDIO EXECS: Yeah, WHATEVER, Latinx viewers! This film will be a wonderful salute to American's LATINX community!

HISPANIC AMERICANS: ::facepalm::
