Tom Hanks' Son Gives Absolutely Choice Answer After Being Accused of Cultural Appropriation

Chet Hanks refuses to apologize for supposed cultural appropriation. Credit: Twitter

It’s a Friday night, so just about anything goes with topic choice, and that means I’m going to write an article on Tom Hanks’ son, Chet Hanks. I know, I know, what could the “white boy summer” dude possibly have to say that’s noteworthy, but I promise you that his exchange with some TikToker named Ziwe is worth the watch.

I don’t follow celebrity news (and this guy barely qualifies), but apparently, all the big celeb publications have been raking the younger Hanks over the coals lately for the supposed sin of “cultural appropriation.” So while the clip I’m going to share is the first I’ve heard of the kerfuffle, this has evidently been going on for a while.

At this point, if you haven’t rushed to hit the back button on your browser yet, you’re probably asking what Hanks did that has caused such consternation. You might want to sit down for this, but he…used a Trinidadian accent.

When asked if he wanted to apologize to “marginalized communities” for that sin and his prior dabbling in black culture, here’s what Hanks had to say. Trust me, it’s worth the watch.

Hanks responds with a simple “Nah” when asked if he wants to apologize. When the interviewer then suggests that he’s saying “social-justice warriors can go kick rocks,” he comes back with “yeah…yeah,” before taking a swig of coffee and then repeating that “social-justice warriors can go kick rocks.”

The look on the interviewer’s face is priceless.

Look, far be it from me to suggest there’s much to learn from a white rapper who appears on reality TV shows and feeds off his father’s fame. But in this case, I think his response is actually instructive. Do you want to drive the woke social-justice warriors nuts? All you have to do is tell them to pound sand. All their power is derived from being able to bring to heel others through outrage and pressure campaigns. When you ignore them and don’t apologize, you neuter their ability to do anything but whine into the void.

So let it be known that for a brief moment in time, someone named Chet Hanks actually said something worth paying attention to. I don’t suspect that will become a trend, though.

Would have been funny if he responded to the Interviewer, with his first name.. Not that she would get the joke.

See previous thread on ' Music as Metaphor'.

America is a cultural clusterfuck anyway.

Chester the Molester. Larry Flynt translates to many languages!

The hair subject is interesting. There is almost no black women that sport their ''real'' hair. But few white women do, at least after age 30. No wonder self-acceptance is such a hot topic today.

black women blame evil racist corporate America of course. until recently most companies had dress codes. i don't go to starbucks the coffee is crap but i bet their baristas look like woke cunts.



not one person here hasn't had to dress professionally for their careers. only blacks claim its racist. anyone or thing to blame but themselves. go figure.

Now that you mention it... My workplace recently got a new guy, part-time. Black African.. No other black guys.. Very nice guy. But.. Never wears a tie. I never go without one, and it is officially required for Men to wear a tie.

The lax enforcement is probably due to our need for more workers. He otherwise dresses nice, so no tie doesn't bother me. In fact, until your post I literally didn't realize he has never worn a tie!

old school rules. spent the bulk of my career by it. suit and tie every day. no such thing as "casual Friday". things have changed in the past 20 years. haven't worn a tie to work in a long time. but still business casual, no jeans allowed (except Friday).



does this guy go meet clients? i know you do you've posted about it. to this day outside sales reps and anyone who meets clients/customers at the office still typically wear ties as per professional dress code.

Sounds like there are some equity issues with your employer, Comrade. Please report for your struggle session for not quitting to allow a BIPOC LGBT+XYZFCUK person to take your place.
