In a follow up to our Kurt Russell story last week – Grey DeLisle-Griffin is a voice actress with a long history at Lucasfilm, stretching back to 1999. Her IMDB credits are quite extensive, and she recently voiced Maz Kanata in the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special. She once wished death on old white people, and once said that she wanted to see elderly white women beg for mammograms. Apparently, that is the kind of political hyperbole that she feels all actors should be compelled to spit out.
I disagree. If you have a large platform and aren’t using it to amplify justice and equality, you kinda suck. https://t.co/A1oUvQXCF5

When public figures speak out against racism, homophobia, transphobia and misogyny, they aren’t doing it to change the minds of the evil & ignorant but so that marginalized people can see they are not alone in this fight. Allies must be loud & visible at every opportunity.

Unless you’re racist and misogynist against elderly white women, in which case Hollywood will probably give you some kind of award.
Thanks to Dennis for the tip.
