Sorry to bother you with this again, but I had a thought related to my question about the possible whitewashing. Twice now Elizabeth Olsen has been accused of being a racist due to her... questionable use of a certain Romani word (that I won't type here because I'm a pansy). Obviously that's not good, but I don't think she did it with the intent of being bigoted or malicious.

I'm willing to give her the benefit of thedoubt, because these two incidents happened 6 years apart, and to my knowledge everyone who has ever worked with Elizabeth says she's a wonderful person to be around, but still. If this were to happen again I would most likely have a lot less patience for it.

I can admit it's very silly of me to be thinking about this, but I really want like Olsen because I love Wanda, and this is kinda putting a damper on my enthusiasm.

I know you're not the right person to ask this, but I would like someone's opinion on this matter. (Just know that you're not the only person I've reached out to about this; I do value your thoughts.)

In fact, if this is too weird or touchy, just feel free to ignore it altogether; I wouldn't blame you.

That's alright, I don't mind 😉 I'm not an expert in these things so take what I say with a grain of salt.

When it comes to slurs I think people need to keep in mind that what's true in one country may not be true in another. I know that specific word is a slur in English-speaking countries but it's not in mine. We say it freely and no one gets offended by it, the Romani included - they use it proudly, in fact. Cultural differences are a thing!

With that said, if it is a slur in the US and Lizzie is American perhaps she should know. Imo the best course of action is to talk to her and let her know, assuming ignorance instead of malice. Or is everyone supposed to know everything about every single minority group in the world? Sometimes it feels like people are waiting for someone to make a mistake to grab the pitchforks and burn them alive.

I despise that kind of thing, the accusations of people calling others racist, sexist, homophobe, etc so freely like those words don't carry huge weight with them. And Lizzie is a woman we don't know! She could be? Sure, or maybe not. Perhaps she thinks it's not a big deal even though it is, maybe she doesn't have any Romani people in her social circle so she's not as knowledgeable as she could be... does that make her a racist? Personally, I think there must be an intention for it to be racist - if you say something wrong out of ignorance... that's hardly bigoted. Ignorance is not inherently bigoted.

By all means, if someone decides they want to assume malice and claim she's awful they're in their right to do so but... dunno... I don't like condemning people I don't know 🤷‍♀️

I had no idea Oscar Isaac starred in the movie adaptation of Terese Raquin! Oh my god! 😳 It's so good! He's hot as fuck and the movie is absolutely enthralling! I had no clue this even existed! I read the book and In Secret really captures the feeling of the book.
