Shrek and Pirates Of The Caribbean screenwriter Terry Rossio has sparked controversy after likening being called an anti-vaxxer to being called the N-word.

 

The Oscar-nominated scribe used the racial epithet as he hit out at another writer who had backed the purchase of vaccine kits from UNICEF to help vulnerable children.

 

Writer Julia Benson shared a “brilliant” Reddit post, which encouraged people to donate vaccinations for children in the name of their anti-vaccination relatives.

 

“I’m not saying you should buy it and then send a card to an anti-vax relative saying you’ve provided lifesaving vaccinations in their name, but actually that’s exactly what I’m saying,” the post read.

This man is completely lost. Many have become so sensitive, so thin skinned, and so wrapped up in their own world, that their perspective is completely gone. Being called anti vax is such a nothing. It means nothing to anybody. So what? Big deal. Why the sensitivity. Cop to it. You are anti vax. It means less than zero. Grow some thicker skin. Man up. Stop being a child. Get real. He does not have a clue.

 

This man has no idea what it means to be called the N word, the long history behind it, the intent and malice inherent within this term, nor what the people brought over from Africa as slaves have been through. As a white man with many black friends, I can say to this day, that they continue to face discrimination, racism, hatred (even from the US president), and are constantly profiled by the police in America. 

Considering the brain damage that vaccination caused him, he might have a point.
