Hidden Figures (2016) dir. Theodore Melfi
this echoes what white women do today.
This was maybe my favorite thing about Hidden Figures. It did not let white women off the hook for one second. Kirsten Dunst’s character was passive at best and openly racist at worst. There was another white woman who, while never openly racist, was deeply passive until the last moment. The movie was, in many ways, an indictment of white feminism and I hope the white women who have seen it were paying attention.
