ABSTRACT The episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt titled “Kimmy Goes to a Play” is widely understood as Tina Fey's unapologetic response to anti-racist criticism of the show’s first season. By satirically vilifying Asian American protesters as intolerant of Titus, a Black queer man, for performing a one-person play about his former life as a geisha, the show hides problems of White American appropriation and advances the racial politics of the model minority stereotype. Using Titus as a stand-in for herself as a show creator, Fey argues for her right to unapologetically culturally appropriate in her racial humor. As such, the message of the episode is consistent with “White feminism,” which advances superficial, postracial anti-racism as an ideological shield while wielding it as a conservative rhetorical weapon to demand White women's access to the benefits of White men's privilege. This helps reveal the contradictions of White feminism that allows its adherents to believe themselves to be progressive while opting out of progressive anti-racism.

“选择退出”:白人女权主义在《牢不可破的金米施密特》中对反种族主义批评的监管和否认

摘要 The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt 的一集名为“Kimmy Goes to a Play”被广泛理解为蒂娜·菲对该剧第一季反种族主义批评的毫无歉意的回应。该节目讽刺地诋毁亚裔美国抗议者不容忍黑人酷儿提图斯 (Titus) 表演他作为艺妓的前世的单人戏剧,从而隐藏了美国白人占有的问题,并推进了模范少数族裔刻板印象的种族政治。Fey 使用 Titus 作为自己作为节目创作者的替身,主张她有权在她的种族幽默中毫无歉意地在文化上适当。因此,这一集的信息与“白人女权主义”一致,将肤浅的、后种族的反种族主义作为意识形态的盾牌,同时将其作为保守的修辞武器来要求白人女性 s 获得白人男性特权的好处。这有助于揭示白人女权主义的矛盾,它允许其追随者相信自己是进步的,同时选择退出进步的反种族主义。
