She's old now. No one cared what she thinks.
Her only asset was her youth. And that was 30 years ago.

Ah, virtue signalers. Aren't they cute? They don't think the rest of us can't see past their BS, but it's just so damn obvious when you take the circumstances in which they convey their "tolerance" into account.
Take actress Molly Ringwald, for example.
She recently did an interview with Variety's Clayton Davis - a black man (keep that in mind) - while receiving their Creative Vanguard Award at the Miami Film Festival this past Saturday, and the "Sixteen Candles" star made a very...um, racist observation about her 1980s John Hughes film that gave her stardom.
As reported by Breitbart, Ringwald said the following:
“Those movies, the movies that I am so well known for, they were very much of the time. And if you were to remake that now I think it would have to be much more diverse. And it would have to be, you know, you couldn’t make a movie that white. Those movies are really, really, very white,” Ringwald said.

Um... maybe because America is and was very very white?
Counter to public opinion, the percentage of blacks hasn’t changed much over the last 100 years in America, and in fact their percentage of the population actually went DOWN in the last census.
1790 757,208 19.3% (highest)
1800 1,002,037 18.9%
1810 1,377,808 19.0%
1820 1,771,656 18.4%
1830 2,328,642 18.1%
1840 2,873,648 16.8%
1850 3,638,808 15.7%
1860 4,441,830 14.1%
1870 4,880,009 12.7%
1880 6,580,793 13.1%
1890 7,488,788 11.9%
1900 8,833,994 11.6%
1910 9,827,763 10.7%
1920 10.5 million 9.9%
1930 11.9 million 9.7% (lowest)
1940 12.9 million 9.8%
1950 15.0 million 10.0%
1960 18.9 million 10.5%
1970 22.6 million 11.1%
1980 26.5 million 11.7%
1990 30.0 million 12.1%
2000 34.6 million 12.3%
2010 38.9 million 12.6%
2020 41.1 million 12.4%
It is an urban MYTH that blacks are becoming the majority. What is actually happening is, they keep taking groups that used to be considered and counted as “white” and classifying them as something else. Hispanics were originally counted as white and are growing fast and are much larger group than Blacks. Asians are actually the fastest growing group, but are still a small percentage.

A movie about an upper middle class suburban white family stars white people?
Did John Hughes direct, “Better Off Dead?”
“Someone threw away a perfectly good white boy.”

Wrong Molly. The true star of your films was Long Duck Dong.
Gaaa. Was gonna say she was very very white with her red, red hair and pasty/powdery white skin with bright red lipstick to match.
So much plastic surgery she doesn’t even look like herself. Wouldn’t of recognize her in a mug shot.
On a related note, these old films from the 80s remain popular today among young people precisely because they weren't pushing an agenda, they weren't afraid of offending the racial sensibilities of today's white liberals, and they cast people for the script with a total disregard to now-mandated racial quotas.
In short, they entertained audiences first and foremost and still do.
Nevertheless, Ringwald continues to crap all over her old films, the very films that made her insanely rich, because they are now "problematic" when viewed through today's woke agenda.
Molly Ringworm.
I liked Coming to America. Saw it on TV. Haven’t seen any of the others. :)
The Killing Fields is excellent .
…….
Please Molly, in your sage liberal wisdom tell us how having characters of color would have made any of those movies even one tick better? I’m waiting...
All of this hand wringing over a stupid white guilt complex you think you need to have? You’re a phony kid, and you’re not very smart.
Well, they certainly are Joe Biden's #1 voting block. Low info women voters are a danger to America, yes. But they're also a danger to themselves.
