Gabrielle Union Wants to Talk to Amy Schumer About White Privilege
Gabrielle Union has been tirelessly trying to shift the portrayal of race in Hollywood, and the actress' latest effort involves some of her peers. In a recent XoNecole interview, Union revealed that she wants to talk with Amy Schumer and other Caucasian actresses about their white privilege.
When discussing the "necessity of addressing oppression and racial inequality," the Birth of a Nation star said:
"In order to begin to see change start to occur, we have to be willing to have conversations with people who have different opinions than us. I’ve already talked to Lena Dunham; I would love to talk to Kate Upton and Amy Schumer. Maybe I can help to explain the oppressive systems that have benefited and allowed them to say these careless, insensitive and offensive things. Those conversations are awkward as fuck and they get heated. Similar to watching people have conversations about consent."
