Tim Allen is being accused of racism – and this isn’t the first time. Thanks to a recent interview with the actor and Tom Hanks for “Toy Story 4,” a problematic 2013 interview with Allen has resurfaced that has him in hot water.
Xilla Valentine sat down with the two actors in a video that’s been posted to Twitter, testing Hanks on his “knowledge of black culture.” He goes back and forth with Hanks about the card game Spades… but it all flies right over Allen’s head. “I don’t have any idea what you guys just said,” he noted.
So, the Twitterverse thinks Hanks is totally cool. But Allen’s confused and kind of awkward response has the Twitterverse reigniting claims of racism, dragging him over a 2013 interview with Tampa Bay Timeswhere he insisted that it’s okay for him to say the N-word because he has “no intent.”
