Has America become racist against white people in any way that\u2019s comparable to racial slurs against Black people or Mexicans or anything else? I think, kind of, whiteness \u2014 not a phrase I love, but I\u2019m just kind of using it as a placeholder \u2014 has been stigmatized in our modern entertainment. And this can come from everything like \u201cHamilton\u201d \u2014 which is a work that artistically, I actually like a lot, but I think can be interrogated racially, to use the left-wing term \u2014 to movies like \u201cBlack Panther.\u201d \u201cAll right, where am I?\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t scare me like that, colonizer.\u201d And if you look at some of the racial politics around that \u2014 now, is that the equivalent of hostility of Jim Crow South in the 1950s? No, but is it there? I do think that whiteness, again, has become culturally disfavored, at least in, certainly, elite circles, in recent years. But that doesn\u2019t seem like racial hostility. Like, if you go watch \u201cGone With the Wind\u201d and you watch the portrayals of slaves in that movie, they are just racist stereotypes. Absolutely. I don\u2019t get that vibe watching American pop culture in the current age, as regards white people. Do you? As I said, I\u2019m not saying \u2014 I mean, I just explicitly said I don\u2019t think it\u2019s as extreme as it was in the other direction in the, say, early 20th century. On the other hand, and I cite some data from Annenberg, which is actually using it for opposite purposes of how I\u2019m using it. They look at the demographics of people in every mainstream movie, and white people kind of wind up on the short end of the stick. Now, it is a big culture, obviously. Obviously, Tom Cruise is off being the white fighter pilot hero. \u201cI feel the need \u2014 \u2014\u201d \u201cThe need for speed.\u201d I\u2019m not saying that doesn\u2019t exist. But I think statistically that tendency is still there. And it\u2019s OK to call that out. Is there any other area in the culture that is actually overtly oppressive? And you can \u2014 something that would affect your kids, for instance, in their in everyday life? \u201cOppressive\u201d is a pretty strong word, so I don\u2019t know that I would go that far, at least as a generality. But again, as whites become another minority in America or just one of many groups, you could see the pressures pushing in that direction over time. We\u2019ve got to recreate a common American culture. And I think that\u2019s frankly tricky, because we\u2019ve had massive amounts of immigration without enough time, in my view, to assimilate them into American mores and values. And you\u2019ve got a lot of people who benefit from creating that division.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
