#CluelessBoySummer
Chet Hanks is the son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Since he grew up with celebrity royalty for parents, you would think that he would be very well versed in how to conduct himself publicly, including on social media. But, sadly, that’s not the case. He’s no stranger to making controversial public statements.
Perhaps one of his worst missteps was using the hashtag #WhiteBoySummer. It reeked of ignorance and bigotry, which is never funny or cool. He got a lot of flak for this post and ultimately became the butt of many jokes for it. We can’t say he didn’t deserve that, but we feel bad for his parents.
