I was talking about how social justice tumblr has embraced her as a beacon of opportunity for ALL black women out there while ignoring that her upper class status and wealth were the things that allowed her to show her talent and achieve her success.
She is still obviously hugely talented and a deserving winner
That could be said for any celebrity that comes from wealth and uses it as a platform for inspiration.
Not to mention it's not like all black women are just poor and so downtrodden they have no hope.
Only if you equate being black with being poor, like you seem to do
But I never ran around trying to inform the world that Lupita came from a wealthy family, as though it were shocking or surprising information that undermined her success as a black actress
