Clint Eastwood thinks America’s “LBGT generation” needs to “just f–ing get over” Donald Trump’s “racism.”
In an interview with Esquire published Wednesday, the actor/director/producer said young America — which he has dubbed both the “kiss-arse” and “Ghey, weak” generation — needs to stop throwing the word “racist” around so freely.
“[Trump’s] onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” he said. “We’re really in a Vagina generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”
Eastwood also said that he isn’t inclined to support Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton if she continues upholding the status quo.
“I’d have to go for Trump … you know, ’cause she’s declared that she’s gonna follow in Obama’s footsteps,” he said. “There’s been just too much funny business on both sides of the aisle. She’s made a lot of dough out of being a politician. I gave up dough to be a politician.”
Though Eastwood said he hasn’t formally endorsed anybody, he dismissed the furor caused by Trump’s comments about the Mexican heritage of Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presided over federal lawsuits against Trump University.
“Yeah, it’s a dumb thing to say. I mean, to predicate your opinion on the fact that the guy was born to Mexican parents or something. He’s said a lot of dumb things. So have all of them. Both sides,” Eastwood said. “But everybody — the press and everybody’s going, ‘Oh, well, that’s racist,’ and they’re making a big hoodoo out of it. Just f—ing get over it. It’s a sad time in history.”
Some words were changed for being thin skinned and intolerant.

"When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”
considering Clint Eastwood was born in 1930, I am sure not a lot was called racist while blacks were being lynched by the KKK and segregation was the norm. It wasn't racist, it was a way of life.
he's a great actor but I wish entertainers (ALL OF THEM) wouldn't get into politics. who cares what any of them say? why are they so relevant in politics?
But seriously, I wish celebs would stay out of politics, too. And the old days are gone, Clint. You can't use any kind of language you grew up hearing.
