Here we go again. With all due respect I never understood why the government hires minorities with less education and experience that the white folks that are better qualified.

The President of the Academy is a black woman. this is similar to the Eric Garner case in Staten Island where the highest ranking officer on he scene is a Black Woman.
Charlotte Rampling: It’s ‘racist to whites’ to discuss Oscar’s lack of diversity
Charlotte Rampling, an English actor known for playing Evelyn Vogel in TV’sDexter and as a film icon of the Swinging Sixties, went on France’s Europe 1 radio station to discuss the lack of diversity in this year’s Oscar acting nominations — particularly, how she thinks it’s no big deal, and, if anything, drawing attention to it is “racist to whites.” “One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list,” added Rampling, who was nominated in the best actress category for her role in 45 Years, a movie about a rich white couple experiencing marital troubles. Rampling went on to say she thinks any sort of quota system to encourage diversity within nominees would be ill-thought, because “these days everyone is more or less accepted.” “Why classify people?” she asked. “People will always say ‘Him, he’s not as handsome’ or ‘Him, he’s too black’ or ‘He’s too white.’ But does that necessarily mean there should be lots of minorities everywhere? What does it mean that [black actors] still think that they’re a minority?” I guess Rampling’s right in the sense that there would have to be at least one single black actor nominated for them to “think they’re a minority.” Right now, statistically at least, black actors can’t really even be sure that they exist.

[h=1]Simple Math Proves the Oscars Are Not Racist[/h] Remember when Jamie Foxx won an Oscar for best actor? The people calling the Oscars racist don’t. Over the years 10 black actors and actresses have won for best acting of their gender. That’s 10 out of 80 winners being black, that’s 12.5%. It seems to fit proportionally with the US black population of about 13%. The Oscars are not racist, people need to stop being offended by absolutely everything.
The whole "Boycott Oscars" thing is ridiculous. There are bigger problems in the world and you wanna boycott an awards show that literally means nothing? The Oscars are an entertainment show, that's it.
Also, they're not racist, they're just really, really, stupid.
