In response to the controversy surrounding the remake of Disney's Snow White, Bill Burr addressed criticisms at both conservatives and liberals during his podcast. The film, which has faced a projected loss of $115 million, drew ire particularly due to its casting of Latina actress Rachel Zegler and allegations of being 'woke'. Burr humorously pointed out how both sides view each other as overly sensitive while critiquing the conservative backlash, emphasizing the absurdity of their concerns over the changes made to familiar narratives. His remarks offer a comedic lens on modern cultural disputes over representation in media.
I'll tell you one of my favorite things, is how each side thinks the other side is dumb and then each side thinks the other side's a bunch of babies. Specifically, the right thinks that liberals are a bunch of fucking snowflakes, whiny entitled assholes, which, I mean, come on, that's pretty fucking true, right?
But, like, for conservative people to act like they're not the biggest fucking babies also is fucking hilarious. Have you seen this fucking my people, whitey we’re all fucking upset.
There's enough of us to get it going trending anyway. We're upset about the new Cinderella movie. The actress playing Cinderella isn't White. There's no prince. They changed the story.
What am I going to tell my kids? The shit that my people get upset about. What am I going to tell my kids? Well, fucking talk around it the way you talk around the real history of this country.
