@torontonannie What they did was awful. But it was because she's a child, not because of her color. And The Onion made Fanning rape jokes.
Quvenzhane Wallis is a nine year old woman of colour. Let's let what @TheOnion did sink in and remember that Dakota Fanning never had this.

@JustDeanJameson do you have a source for that? -
@torontonannie Other than remembering them doing it? No. But I remember it happening. and I ditched them after they did it.
-
@JustDeanJameson I'll look on google tomorrow to see if it was covered. -
@torontonannie Remember, this was 5 or 6 years ago. It was pre-Twitter, and I wouldn't be surprised if they deleted all mention of it.

@torontonannie "I'm white so can't comment more..." Wow. A ProTip: When calling out suspected racism, don't sound like an actual racist.

@torontonannie No defense for the Onion, but since when is a 9-year-old girl considered a woman?
