Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Well, speaking of right speech, Jane Campion blew it with her unconscious racism and eliltism. I just want to know why these actors don't write an acceptance speech ahead of time and run it by their handlers? We wouldn't have experiencedd the big reveal. She actually thinks her upper class priviledged background and white skin means she's struggled as much as a black woman from the lower class who has to run the gaunlet of racist and sexist remarks every day of her life. And people wonder why feminism is divided: It's divided between women of color who face racial and sexist behavior every day of their lives and women who think their brand of suffering is eqivalent to those who are other in more than one way. Thank goodness there are so many women writers of color telling it like it is these days, speaking for themselves and fed up with others speaking for them. What is sad is that Jane Campion had an opportunity to represent women overcoming sexism, but she really only was thinking of "her own kind", not the vast population of non-white women who face discrimination every waking moment of their lives. For them there is no repreive. Their color tells the story.
