They're not weighing in as "white guys", they're weighing in as comedians. Seems there's a virtual consensus on this by now, by all sexes and races.

I'm not talking about my personal social group. I'm talking about people in the professions in which this atrocity occurred. I know they don't matter to you, though. But also you definitely don't matter to them.

you're talking about several white male comedians who have "weighed in" since it happened; they don't represent the community any more than anyone else who was pro-Will, but they do stoke flame wars

Most comedians; black, white, male, female, and other agree... because they don't like the precedent.. obviously. It is their beloved profession they are concerned about. I bring this up because you brought up Jim Carrey.

Is it? I've seen comedians of different race and gender weigh in about the precedent it could set. Not just white male comedians.
