Felicity Huffman's former Desperate Housewives castmate Ricardo Chavira has slammed her 14-day sentence as 'white privilege'. The actor, who starred with the actress on all eight seasons of Desperate Housewives, took to Twitter on the same day a judge handed down her punishment, calling it a 'slap on the wrist'.
Huffman pleaded guilty in the Operation Varsity Blues college admissions cheating scandal and was sentenced last month.
Chavira, who played the husband of Eva Longoria's character, Carlos Solis, on the ABC show, wrote on September 13 shortly after the sentence was announced: 'White Privilege. And I saw Eight years worth of it, so I know what I'm talking about.
'Accountability and Responsibility don't mean s*** to these people.'
The 48-year-old actor went on to claim that he experienced discrimination during his time working with Huffman on set of the drama.
Chavira continued: 'I saw Eight years worth of it working on Housewives.
'I've seen a lifetime of it being a halfbreed, and I've struggled w the intricacies of it on a daily basis w all the cultural bias I've received on both ends. But whatever. Slap on the wrist. Sorry, but this s***.'
One follower questioned him on why he had to bring race into the argument in a now-deleted post and the actor was not afraid to respond.
He wrote: 'But it's not about race. Tired of stupid people and their stupid arguments. If you haven’t lived it, you really have no say. Stay in your lane.'
