Anyway, I got even about 3 years ago. My daughter goes to a fancy upper east side private school. I got word that Spike was trying to get his kid accepted there. I called a meeting with the Dean and relayed this exact story. Soon after, Spike’s kid’s application was rejected.

And this isn’t an isolated incident. My mother was a Hollywood make-up artist. She worked on the movie Malcom X. She was hired on a recommendation, but was never interviewed in person. She was just about the only white person on staff. Everyday, at the end of 12-15 hours of filming, she was always the last person, out of dozens and dozens of staff, to get her car service home. She said the racism on set was “institutional”.
