#OscarsSoGringo

                                             They all agree and they're all wrong.



The jury is back and the verdict is in. The Oscars are racist. Not only do all the hip celebs and all MSM talking heads agree, but the Academy itself has issued a mea culpa together with a radical plan to ethnically cleanse its white membership.

Of the many celebrities who expressed their outrage I think Snoop Dogg is most in tune with current sensibilities:

“Somebody asked me was I gonna watch the m*****f**king Oscars. F**k no. What the f**k imma watch that bullsh*t for. They ain’t got no n****s nominated. All these great movies and all this great sh*t y’all keep stealing from us. F**k you. F**k you.”

So I guess that’s that…

Apart that is from an article I read in the impeccably liberal Economist. As is their wont, they delved into the numbers to find out just how disgustingly racist the Academy are. Well, I have to say the numbers are pretty conclusive. Since the turn of the century black actors have won just 15% of the acting Oscars. A pretty disturbing figure I think you’ll agree. Unless that is you happen to know that black Americans comprise just 12% of the US population. Which means that black actors are actually about 25% over endowed with those coveted statuettes.
    
The group that seems to have a real gripe are Hispanics who account for 16% of the US population, a mighty 25% of cinema tickets sales, but have got just 3% of Oscar nominations since 2000!
        
Hmm. Maybe it’s time to run with the hashtag #OscarsSoGringo.

  1. Many Hispanics in the US see themselves as white. Also the US has a global audience for its big budget action movies such as car stunt action movies and superhero movies. Which play in Japan, India, and China. Where they would rather watch white actors whom they see as more like them than Africans. The real puzzle is why PC Hollywood casts as many black actors as they do.

  2. I don't think it's much of a puzzle. America is particularly sensitive to complaints from blacks because of the history of slavery and segregation. And the black race hustlers are really good at playing on that white guilt.

    The ironic thing is that the black race baiters are now the biggest obstacle to black progress because of the way they so effectively shut down debate on every issue of importance from the breakdown of the black family to black murder rates with their reflexive charges of racism.
