“I was never a fan,” responded Alejandro Simpatico-Cardenas, when he was asked by a team of Cornell University researchers what he thought of the recently deceased actress. A resident of Pucallpa in eastern Peru, Mr. Simpatico-Cardenas claims that people overlook the fact that the beloved TV personality was responsible for originating the concept of White Privilege. “I could never forgive her for doing that, and I don’t see how anyone committed to social justice could forgive her for doing that.”
The retired pastry chef has demanded that Pucallpa city officials remove the 30-foot statue of Ms. White from the town square, and replace it with one honoring Peruvian military hero Francisco Bolognesi.
