Checking Her Privilege

Chelsea Handler interviewed with ABC’s Ellen DeGeneres the other day, she obviously loathes herself.  Good news for Chelsea, we loathe her too!  In part, here is what she had to say

“I just started to think about all the privilege I’ve benefited from in this industry, specifically — being a Jew is a bonus, being a girl as a comedian when I was coming up,” she explained. “I had every advantage. Every door opened for me.”

“When I started to look around at people that don’t have as successful of a career or are working twice as hard to achieve the same things, I started to feel very gross about myself. On a very fundamental level, I wanted to explore it further … [starting] with my own white privilege. I’ve been badly behaved for 20 years and getting tons of money thrown at me for being a loudmouth. You could say I’m talented, but you could also say I’m not talented.”

I’ll choose the latter Chelsea, you are not talented.
