Whitewashing that gif... why didn't you use a black person? or an asian? or hispanic? Ugh.. Society is crumbling... I can't believe you posted that gif with only a white person talking... 0110100001100101011011000110110001101111 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because no one of color won, doesn't mean the Oscars are racist. There aren't enough people of different ethnic background in the entertainment industry, therefore the odds of someone who isn't white winning an award is pretty slim. People throw the race card around so much these days... It's so annoying. And never call me an idiot again. You know absolutely nothing about me.

There is racism. and there is fact. Just because someone isn't white doesn't mean they deserve to be nominated.

Thank you. thats simply not true. trying to sound edgy by implying the "gif is racist" is just totally far fetched. media and entertainment are massive social barometres that are supposed to reflect society and encapsulate the interests of society. the oscars are reflections of a major institution (hollywood) that has great sway over american's lives and pop culture. a person with any sense would never call out such minor things like gifs or photos and implying that the people pointing out the lack of diversity in grammy nominations share no equivalent to a person (although nobody would ever do this ) trying to come for "racism in a gif". sure calling you an idiot was rude of me, but that "joke" was very idiotic. i like it when u treat me mean it turns my mood from black to blue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should give awards to those that they don't believe deserve it? I'm sorry but trying to force an Oscar version of affirmative action is just ignorant. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

TiphEret 1,320 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't get why POC complain! We all know they get so much exposure as the black guy that dies in the first part of the film in most action movies... at least they have a job!

Katsuki Bakugo 9,788 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This is like the Hunger Games tbh. Just mention the word black and watch people flock...The true people who know anything about racism and unfair treatment are those who live it everyday, who hear the hate mongering spat at them for existing. Award Shows do nothing but inflate the egos of the celebrity, this is not about colour of skin its about who has the most money and whose story do they want to sell the best. I am not saying she is buying her awards but it is funny how Gaga went from HUGE to a "flop" and now she is winning awards again. And she is Italian, ( she is European not american by blood),... to me its more interesting to see the reason why those who win are winning it.

I'm sorry but trying to force affirmative action on everything is just plain ignorant. wtf are u trying to say that affirmative action is a problem and those who benefit from it dont deserve to get into college let me redirect you here and i was not saying that the oscars should give to people who dont deserve it (although they did, as many mediocre films that were panned by critics were nominated), im just saying that people who point out that all the actors nominated this year are white shouldnt be demonized 3 minutes ago, Stellar said: It's called sarcasm.
