Ansel Elgort has caught the ire of some Twitter users, who are trying to "cancel" the 26-year-old actor over claims that he's used the N-word in the past. An anonymous Instagram post claims the Fault In Our Stars actor bullied them in school with use of the racial slur, and that the school never took action to discipline him.

The post that puts Elgort into question does not mention his last name, only his first. "Once I was in class and we were learning about the Niger River. Ansel (Lag's favorite) repeatedly mocked me and said 'N***** River' multiple times. Nothing was ever done about it," the post reads.

Mocking you? Or just repeating it? How close were you to him when he said it? Was he even looking at you?

Oh no! A kid may or may not have used the N word when he was extremely young!

He must be destroyed.

So now giving the correct answer in geography class is racist?

He’s also got a sexual assault allegation from a 17 year old out there now if that helps

This is so dumb on multiple levels. The post from an anonymous poster never even refers to Ansel Elgort, just says Ansel.

It's just as dumb anyone is getting upset about "cancel culture" over this because there will always be groups of varying size on the internet that will get upset about literally anything so it isn't worth giving it attention.

My dad was still saying it out of habit in the 80's. I had to talk with him about it a couple of times when he was visiting me in Dallas. One of the times he did it in a Wendy's, with a 6'4" 270lbs. Black man in line behind us.
Was expecting this:

Brah, the guy is 26, not 85. The n-word has been a forbidden word for a long damn time. His youth is not an excuse

It's gone from a river in Africa to sexually assaulting a 17 year old girl in 2014.

quote:

A woman has accused Ansel Elgort, star of Disney’s upcoming Steven Spielberg movie “West Side Story,” of sexually assaulting her in 2014 when she was 17.

The woman named Gabby, who did not reveal her last name, tweeted a statement on Friday and claimed the actor, now 26, sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager. Gabby described sobbing and being in pain and said, “I didn’t want to do it the only words that came out of his mouth were ‘we need to break you in.'"

So people essentially have to double/triple check what they say/post now because it can be dig up years from now? Nice country it’s becoming.

I don’t need to restate my political leanings but this is retarded. There are just straight up vindictive people out there that want everyone punished for even minor transgressions. Sometimes punished for things misconstrued, misheard, or just straight up lies.

Also, once again. frick Twitter. That shitty arse platform needs to be nuked.
