Hey, Snapchat. My eyebrows are on, but Iâm about to go the fuck offâbecause Iâm sickâfucking white feminists.
So long story short, I asked why a show thatâs all about âchampioning feminismâ ignores women of color and makes fun of Asian women? And then, while everyone was sitting there patting themselves on the back for how âprogressiveâ this show is, like, the black dudes are the punchline, in it?
So afterwards, the moderator comes up to me, to white-splain to me what it âreallyâ was about. And this womanâwhew! âWeâre not fetishizing black men because, you know, as a Jewish, plus-sized woman, black men really love me, and Iâm just speaking my truth!â When the punchline is, âIâm too fat for cute white guys, but black dudes will fuck me because theyâll fuck anything,â youâre a fucking racist!
And what Iâm not here for is so-called white feminists white-splaining to me how âI donât understandâ what they meant. No, I understand! And what really got me fucked up, is when this woman said, âWell you know, itâs true, black guys love me,â I was like, âI have to go.â She, like, wouldnât let me leave!
The moderator, Jill Soloway, cornered me, and would not fucking let me leave, because they were so desperate to absolve their white guilt and make me understand that they werenât racist.
Jill Solowayâs ass had the fucking nerve to say to me, âYeah, we should be intersectional. I think women and people of color need to work together!â Iâm like, âBuâbutâwomen of color?!â You clearly donât understand what intersectional feminism is if when I ask you why isnât your show intersectional, your response is to separate women and people of color.
Thenâthis is what killed meâthen she had the nerve to be like, âYou know, Iâve been looking for intersectional voices, but I canât find them. Where are they? Just, where are they?â Hi, um, so yeah, Iâm here with the Sundance Serial Content Lab, and I have a web series at MTV, and I just accepted my first TV writing job, soâhere?
I am so fucking sick of these women patting themselves on the back for calling out the patriarchy while being fucking racist. And what pisses me off, is even when I donât curse, and Iâm so professional and complimentary of your work, you still gaslight the fuck out of me! And this is why respecability politics are not shit. Cause even when I donât curse, and I play nice and compliment your work, y'all still treat me like the fucking angry black woman.
And, like, Emmy-winning Jill Soloway like, invited me to her house, to like, be her friend, like. I donât wanna be your fucking friend. Like, fuck your white guilt.
It just sucks, cause it really takes a lot ofâlike I was really, really fucking upset that these women treated me like this. And Iâm the one that has to be professional, because I wanna work in this business, but I donât wanna compromise my morals, but thatâs what you have to do to fucking get a check.
Iâm, likeâI wanna make a video about this, but, like, I justâIâm so tired of being the only person that, like, says anything, you know what I mean? Itâs exhausting. And itâs alienating. And itâs lonely. And, like, I just wanna make, like, smart shit. I wanna be able to watch something and not be shit on.
Itâs 2016. There is no excuse. If some racist shitâshitting on Asian women and black men slip through your showâthat tells me there are no people of color on your staff. You can throw a stone in any direction and see a talented person of color out here. Like, come on.
Youâre gonna look me in my face and tell me that âyou canât find any intersectional feminists anywhereâ? You arenât looking.
Cause we out here.
