You're forgetting 17% Hispanics and 5% Asian. A third would be representative. {nm}
W: For the first time since 1998, all the 20 acting category slots filled with white nominees #OscarsSoWhite trending Jan 15, 13:53
Where's the problem? {nm} Jan 15, 14:09
The difference between 0 and 2.4 (12% of population) is pretty small. It's bound to happen, sometimes. {nm} Jan 15, 15:03
You're forgetting 17% Hispanics and 5% Asian. A third would be representative. Jan 15, 15:08
I meant a quarter. {nm} Jan 15, 15:09
At least 5 of the 20 nominees for acting are foreign born so that gums up the statistics a bit. {nm} Jan 15, 15:35
You're right - they are only including white foreigners. Excellent point! {nm} Jan 15, 15:37
Its 6 and the point was you cannot use a quota system based on the US population. Nothing more. {nm} Jan 15, 15:41
I got the point you were making. It's not a good one, is my point. {nm} Jan 15, 15:47
Tell that to Antibody who was using the US population. I never beleived the Academy members were ever objective. {nm} Jan 15, 15:53
That makes it even worse. {nm} Jan 15, 15:56
yep {nm} Jan 15, 15:59
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:57
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:59
Fair enough. My mind was still in Selma, after the past few boards. {nm} Jan 15, 16:59
Wow, a triple! Posting from the phone is a bit odd. {nm} Jan 15, 17:48
Whites dominate Hollywood! They always have and they always will. {nm} Jan 15, 15:19
"Always" is a very long time. Not a provable statement. {nm} Jan 15, 15:44
lol wut? Whites will always dominate Hollywood. Most Jewish people are white, you do know that right? {nm} Jan 15, 16:27
wait, the *Jews* run Hollywood?! Jan 15, 16:33
and the banks. dont forget the banks {nm} Jan 15, 16:38
well, sure, everyone knows that {nm} Jan 15, 16:50
If the votes are for quality irregardless of colour, it's bound to happen some years. {nm} Jan 15, 15:20
But as is noted every single years, Oscar votes aren't really based on quality. {nm} Jan 15, 15:22
No, this is what happens when Oscar voters are nearly 94% Caucasian and 77% male. Jan 15, 15:58
That's sad and depressing. For shame Hollywood, for shame. {nm} Jan 15, 17:03
Still dont see the problem you have with this antibody. {nm} Jan 15, 17:29
it's not just him Jan 15, 17:32
And why do you? You are taking away from those who got nominated and stating that they Jan 15, 17:35
if the hood fits . . . Jan 15, 17:42
I dont see how you classify this as a deficiency. Again, why should a white person not get nominated just because Jan 15, 17:46
one year might be an anomaly. year in year out over 87 years is a consistent pattern of bias against non-white actors {nm} Jan 15, 17:48
I see a long list of minorities who have won or been nominated in the past. So whats your problem? Why should Jan 15, 17:52
i don't think "long" means what you think it means {nm} Jan 15, 18:03
based upon statistics presented, its a very long list. And I should add Jan 15, 18:05
That's what she said {nm} Jan 16, 01:50
Why should people have to vote for a minority just to make race baiters happy? {nm} Jan 15, 17:31
and this is the white persons fault? {nm} Jan 15, 18:11
obviously *nothing* is ever the white person's fault Jan 15, 18:12
I guess you consider all the "white" people who feel into the hype and voted Jan 15, 18:17
please proceed, Governor {nm} Jan 15, 18:21
I guess thats the answer I expected from you {nm} Jan 15, 18:25
uh, yes? {nm} Jan 15, 18:13
Other then your own opinion, how so? {nm} Jan 15, 18:14
I see Tyler Perry do more then well, and he is a minority. {nm} Jan 15, 18:15
I see lots of women that apply themselves do excellent in the workforce. As well as minorities that apply themselves. {nm} Jan 15, 18:16
So you are suggesting that women don't apply themselves in film. Can't you see how that's discrimination? {nm} Jan 15, 18:18
appearantly they apply themselves enough to be in the film. Jan 15, 18:22
Because they created a sep category after long years of neglect. {nm} Jan 15, 18:24
I agree there were times of neglect, but I dont see that now. This era is all about opportunity Jan 15, 18:26
Just b/c Obama is president doesn't mean there's not racism, sexism or discrimination. Jan 15, 18:30
is this a personal opinion, or the opinion that the media has instilled into those who dont seek the truth themself? Jan 15, 18:33
Huh? Obama didn't win a majority of white votes in 2008. {nm} Jan 15, 18:44
U must think that the popular vote matters in the presidential race? It doesnt. all that matter is the electoral votes Jan 15, 18:48
"He could have only done that if a vast majority of the white population voted for him". Your words. {nm} Jan 15, 18:50
and who do you think the electoral votes are? According to politics, a majority of them were indeed white. {nm} Jan 15, 18:52
Next time Jan 15, 18:53
They are not "the white population", which is what you said. {nm} Jan 15, 18:54
Needless to say, people need to stop seeking racism and discrimination where none exists {nm} Jan 15, 18:57
Oh look, more diversion. {nm} Jan 15, 19:08
Who effing cares? Poor me and cry me a river. Christ, get over the racial **** already. {nm} Jan 15, 21:12
+1 {nm} Jan 16, 06:21
Another thread i'll gladly skip {nm} Jan 16, 03:35
