Nepotism in young Hollywood: Which currently popular actor/actress is NOT a product of being well-connected and/or rich?

people who cry about it are usually white suburban kids trying to be wOkE.

i had a heavy "blaccent" for a looong time. im asian. yes, i've gotten a lot of shit for it. no, not from black people, 99% from rich white kids.

im asian, i grew up in NYC. mott haven, in the bronx. i grew up in the projects. my school was 99% black, so naturally, i spoke like everyone else. i actually never spoke to a white person my age until i went to college lol

so yeah... i had a heavy heavy "blaccent".

i got so much shit for it when i went off to college. again, never from black people. literally, i never had a black person take issue with the way i spoke (ok, maybe 1 or 2, but they were also rich black kids lol). all the white kids though? they were screaming rAcIsM yOU cAnT dO thAt

it's literally the way i grew up speaking.

anyway.. after a couple years in college though, i completely broke the accent since it offended so many people. i still talk like that though when im back home
