Brie Larson said that she didn't care about the opinions of white men about A Wrinkle in Time. Do I need to give the definition of discrimination?
That's not the same thing as saying "we need to ban white men". No need to overreact.
So what you're trying to say is,
Brie Larson doesn't want to ban white men. Brie Larson wants to discriminate against white men. There's a difference there, and some people think the latter is just fine. Because, for some people, the problem isn't racism or sexism, the problem is that the targets were the wrong people.
?
No, I wasn't. There's a large number of white male journalists than any other demographic, and Larson is confronting that by saying there should be more diversity in the field, as opposed to white males dominating it in large numbers.
I
isn't not caring about the opinions of white men for a movie a form of discrimination? I've still got that dictionary.
If that's what you want to use to claim Brie Larson is a racist without the context, sure, knock yourself out. As a white male, I'm personally not offended, because I understand the point she's trying to make.

That doesn't answer my question. That dodges my question.
Is it sad to say I don't hate white people, but while I don't hate men either, I'm kind of... very male-negative?

She said she didn't care about the opinion of forty year old white men regarding the movie "A Wrinkle in Time". That doesn't mean she feels the same on every film, yet many want to interpret it that way to drive the same kind of narrative that groups like the KKK keep harping on that "white culture" is under attack by PC/SJW culture, which is what most of those review bombs consisted of.

You're not denying that she discriminated, you're just trying to justify it.
Sounds like she just doesn't care about racist, sexist old conservatives and what they think, and good riddance if she doesn't.

About one particular movie, that doesn’t necessarily make her a racist.

It was just that one time! Next she'll have loads of white male friends too.
