Chet Hanks Is Not Happy About Racists Appropriating ‘White Boy Summer’


Chet Hanks appeared to respond to a report about the spread of 'white boy summer' among far-right extremist, calling it 'deplorable.'

On Instagram, Hanks (son of Tom and Rita Wilson) ostensibly responded to a recent report from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which tracked the spread of “white boy summer” among extremist groups online. I’m talking about me, Jon B., Jack Harlow-type white-boy summer.” And in the inevitable “White Boy Summer” song and music video, Hanks prominently displayed a shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Stop Hate.” After 2021, “White Boy Summer” largely faded into the cultural background, though Hanks did try to revive it earlier this year after going viral with a screen grab of him explaining the Kendrick Lamar/Drake beef to his more famous dad.
