That's why Fox strikes a chord with people who are suspicious of actors making token gestures and telling them how to think when they enjoy huge wealth and comfort and work in a sector which is much more problematic than most blue collar industries

Yeah, by no means at all do I think the arts and entertainment industry has come out smelling of roses on this issue, but I definitely feel as though there is far less wiggle-room in those industries to display hateful or derogatory behaviour towards someone for their race. As I said before, on this particular topic of the BLM movement I think we'll probably find the vast majority of people in the business are supportive of the movement and vocal about it as a result. Whether this is performative or self-serving we'll never TRULY know. However, all I'm saying is if Laurence Fox is gonna start getting precious over BLM because his poor white voice is being snubbed for once then he deserves to be reprimanded by his peers.
