“It is about 4 white kids in a white suburb”: The Breakfast Club Star Claiming the Movie Is Racist and Sexist Ignites a Raging Debate
Molly Ringwald’s candid remarks on why the 1985 classic The Breakfast Club should not get a remake have sparked a backlash after the actress claimed that the movie lacks the diversity needed to resonate with today’s audience.

However, despite its high acclaim and enduring popularity, she defined the movie as racist and sexist, stirring controversy as it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
