It’s incredible how being rich has separated him from the racial struggle he has highlighted throughout his career.
Like even if privately he thought trans people are a joke, old Chappellee might’ve seen trans persecution for what it is: kindling for the fire to burn away the rights of other minorities. He might’ve been an ally just for tactical purposes.
But he is rich now. He feels safe enough that invalidating the experience of other people would never lead to the invalidation of his own, and even if he does, he can escape with his wealth.
Igniting racial flames is loved by the people in power. But it’s touching that class issue that transcends race where the problem lies. Because we far outnumber the rich. We forget that when we’re only looking at the skin color of everyone else in our class. Such a shame Dave became a tool for those fuckers when he became one of them.

He was pointing out social issues and racism and its stereotypes .
Now he’s just denying the existence of a minority.
