Comedian Amy Schumer is going viral for her Islamophobic, anti-Palestinian content since Hamas’ attacks on Israel on October 7, followed by the Gaza strip getting bombarded relentlessly by the country.
Now, an African American- Filipino actress Asia Jackson shared the hateful messages she recieved from Amy for her pro-Palestine stance.
Asia slammed the double standards in the industry , pointing out how Palestinian-American models Gigi and Bella Hadid had to make careful statements about their support for Gaza, while Amy Schumer continues to make racist comments against Muslims and Palestinians.
It’s so crazy to me how Bella & Gigi had to tiptoe around their statements and then Amy Schumer is like “Gazans are rapists” and will still have a career

Schumer then followed Asia on Instagram and messaged her in private. In screenshots shared by Asia, Amy was seen berating the actress by calling her an anti-semite and also accused her of not understanding the backlash against Jews who feel like targets of racism right now. Mind you, never lecture a Black and Asian actress on facing fear and racism.

Asia slammed the comedian, who has a history of making racist and abelist comments in the past, for degrading her in this manner. Especially for lecturing a woman from a minority community on racism.
Imagine coming into a Black person’s DMs trying to lecture them about what it’s like to feel unsafe

She further pointed out how Amy continues to spew racist comments from her elite mansion while the Israeli military bombed refugee camps in Gaza and murdered countless babies and civilians.
Mind you, she’s sending all these messages from her mansion while the IDF just bombed a refugee camp

Social media users were outraged at Amy’s unhinged behavior, and called her a ‘raging racist’.
Amy Schumer is a raging racist, period.
What’s crazy is that not one of her peers in Hollywood will call her out on any of the extremely racist and Islamophobic things she has said. https://t.co/f3dp7Z1dhe

“Amy Schumer made fun of a black comic (for being black and made fun of him for having the disease that would go on to kill him) and then stole his material after he died. Like, not history’s greatest monster, but certainly in the discussion,” a user revealed.
