I’m Hispanic, not white.

And Parker was exonerated — yes, the jury was almost entirely white, but the fact remains, he was exonerated.

My review was of the film he made, not the choices he made 16 years ago. If you can’t separate those two things, then maybe you need to work on your critical thinking skills as well as your people skills.

Not one mention of the rapist issue. White writer. Figures. For the most part, only black columnists have had the courage to call Parker out for what he is (which he is, if you read the trial transcripts and apply non-Neanderthal standards of consent).
