Matt McGorry Responds To Iggy Azalea’s “Becky” Comments

In case you didn’t already know Matt McGorry, the actor who plays Asher Millstone on ABC’s hit “How To Get Away With Murder”, is a woke white man who often eloquently breaks down black struggles for his peers.

Most recently Matt clapped back at Iggy Azalea who said she felt the term “Becky” as used in Beyonce’s “Lemonade” was racist. According to Matt however there’s no way that could possibly be true because reverse racism doesn’t exist.
TMZ reports:

“I think there’ no reverse racism. I think it’s not a real thing,” McGorry said. “I think that what seems like a lighthearted joke goes one way and is not necessarily lighthearted the other way.”

He continued, “I think Black women are stereotyped in such broad, sweeping strokes to begin with and that affects their lives on a daily basis. White people, white women aren’t as subjected to that when it comes to the race issues. Women in general? Sure. But just as there’s no such thing as reverse sexism, white people’s lives are not, ultimately, terribly affected other than their feelings hurt from being called a racist.”

Right on Matt, right on!
