Rosanna Arquette expressed dismay over her ethnicity and privileged upbringing in a tweet Wednesday.

"I’m sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame," the award-winning actress said.

Rosanna, 59, is the daughter of film producer Lewis Arquette and known primarily for her work in Desperately Seeking Susan, Pulp Fiction, and Crash. She is the sister of David and Patricia, who are also actors from the Arquette family, which has deep roots in Hollywood.

Rosanna and her sister Patricia are known for their liberal, outspoken political opinions. Rosanna was one of the first to come forward with an accusation of sexual assault against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein in 2017. "My heart was really racing. I was in a fight-or-flight moment," she said of her experience in the early 1990s.

Many Twitter users found humor in Arquette's post, citing her attempt to "virtue signal" with "white guilt."

"She does not feel ashamed for being white. Is just virtue signaling to show how progressive she is," said one user.

Others were more direct with their disapproval of her sentiment. "I'm ashamed of you too..." said one. Still others encouraged her to seek professional help.

Rosanna, hating all white people even if it is your own skin color does not make you any less a racist. ;-) — Eddie Donovan, Ph.D. 🇺🇸 (@EddieDonovan) August 7, 2019
