Hybrid AT 78 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Should have been there from day one. Late, but a very welcome change indeed "I was protected by the monks of Azarath, I was raised by my friends. They are my family, this is my home and you are not welcome here."

Kulture Kiari 3,433 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 This is BS! I am Hispanic and used to work as an actor. They can basically bypass this by hiring extras, that already get treated like crap, that meet that criteria. Even though this sounds like an "applause moment", the academy is making it look like "Hey Hollywood, pick people that are non-white so we can get more viewers and go viral."
