    Hollywood isn't anymore racist than what their "audience" is willing to pay for.

    I'm still waiting for your proof that "Most, if not all" of Hollywood are liberal. Wait, I guess you were already proved wrong on the "All" part. Can you at least prove that most are?

    I know you can't but one day I hope you'd surprise me. "Here is a poll among oscar voters and their political affiliation..." would be nice if you tried to back up anything you say instead of just throwing it out there and going with the "I said it, therefore it is true!" routine.

    I'm suggesting banning it for you though and creating a safe space! It's obvious this word gets a lot of people all jittery and uncomfy!

    You are right, we need to be careful how we use our words and how often we use them....

    I'll just let you be the one person in the world that doesn't realize the obvious. It seems as if you're no stranger to that sort of thing.

    Are you sure you wouldn't be doing that for yourself? The word pretty clearly applies to you because you've made it obvious that you view the world through the lens of race. You get worked up over the race of who wins and doesn't win awards without regard to if they deserved it or not. It's kind of funny that we just celebrated MLK's birthday and here you are arguing over the color of people's skin, ignoring the content of their character (or suggesting that the color of their skin means that they lack certain character)

    You really should seek help working past your race related issues. It'll probably make for a happier life.

    Says the guy that claims all of Hollywood is liberal and is 100% wrong.

    Maybe do a little research? I mean even try?


    Never said that. In any post here or in the other thread.

    Also, MLK was not in favor of being quiet and he was not always "Loved" because people thought he was drumming up race issues and being a race instigator lol.

    It's funny how that works for some people. "Hey, we are being discriminated against!" some people go...

    "Oh? Well let's listen to your concerns."

    People like Bobby go "Nope, you are delusional. Shut up and be quiet and stop thinking about race all the time."

    Want proof?

    I don't know about 'most' but I can guarantee you that 'all' of the academy is not comprised of Democrats.

    Okay, so the statement still stands, the vast majority are either Democrats, Socialists, or Green party people. There's also probably some non-partisan members and maybe a token few Republicans or Libertarians but it's a VERY left leaning group.

    Again, you're stupid.

    It takes genuine honesty, not bravery to state that. You should be ashamed of yourself for being so ignorant.

    Typical, instead of debating you resort to name calling. Is this what you do when you debate someone face to face or are you only brave in front of a computer screen?

    Yup. Any racism you think Hollywood has is only a reflection of the audience that is willing to watch the movie or series.

    23% of the Best Actor Winners in the last 12 years have been black.

    13% of the US population is black.
    ]

    Are Leo and Brad Pitt black? They have no acting oscars.

    Sometimes, the entire rosters of basketball teams are black. Is that racist?

    Losers complain about everything. If I'm a minority, I would work on my ability to convince others I can play a non-stock/cliche ethnic character instead of being a loser.

    Are Latinos running around calling the Hollywood elite and the Academy racists? I must have missed that.
