Since nepotism in Bollywood is the topic of discussion for these days. Here is a thread about why you should despise Hollywood as well for the same. If you think Hollywood isn't as flawed as Bollywood if not more, I hope this thread changes your perception.
Let's talk about some popular faces of Hollywood who are products of Nepotism. I will be adding other aspects of nepotism after making a list of the "nepo-kids" of Hollywood.

He doesn't need an introduction. Your favourite Iron Man whom you love 3000 is a product of nepotism. His father Robert Downey, Sr. is a retired actor, director, writer, producer and cinematographer. His mother Elsie Ford is also an actress and a writer.

There are many, many such examples. "Nepokids" in Hollywood.
Before I begin the other part of my thread, people are in my mentions saying "but they are talented", well you sure all of them are talented? You sure Ranbir, Alia, Kareena and others aren't "talented"?

The same thing for which you all bash Bollywood, you guys came running in my mentions defending them, the Holly "nepokids". Why?
Aren't they privileged like our star-kids? Yes you'll say they have to prove themselves. Yes, Uday Chopra could not prove himself as well.

You all pretend as if Bollywood is the most rotten place on this planet (lol). Nothing good happens here, but trust me Hollywood is nastier. The politics, racism, favoritism, crimes, drugs and all - you turn a blind eye to those, right? You still went and watched a RDJ film.
Ok so here's the second part of the thread. The Hollywood Movie Families. Boycott them as well (maybe).
1 - The Barrymores.
An American "acting family".

Now that I have listed some "nepo-kids" and families that rule the entertainment Industry in the west, the point of this long thread was - If we are against nepotism and privilege in Bollywood, we must be against it in Hollywood.
There's no point in selective outrage. And stop believing that all, literally all of the privileged in Hollywood are deserving.
At the end, its completely in the hands of the audience to make a person successful in the entertainment industry.

Hype whoever you want to, all that matters is talent. Boycotting talented privileged people is stupidity.
Please note that this thread doesn't take trivialise the struggles of an outsider. If you all think so...
