I, as a latino, feel offended by this title. No minorities were nominated as stated in the article. You're not the only minority I'm sorry.

You literally HAVE to be joking if you think blacks think like this. Get a ****ing GRIP

I as a black person see black people try to stand in solidarity with other minorites all the time....only to find out that they are anti-black as well!!! Isn't that crazy? But that's another story....

They aren't obligated to nominate a black person at every Oscar on race alone. I haven't seen every movie this year, nor do I pretend to have, but I genuinely don't remember any black people in roles that had a lot of Oscar buzz this year, let alone any blatantly bait-y roles. Tho if I'm wrong, I'm happy to have someone correct me

Honestly, these protests just hurt causes. Did the Oscars nominate any LGBT, Asian, Latina, etc. people last year and this year? Anyone with any kind of mental disorder? Any children? (I haven't checked, so again, correct me if in wrong) No? Wow! They must hate all LGBT, Asian, Latina people, all people with mental disorders, and all children. Or maybe no one in said groups was Oscar worthy this year. It happens

You could argue Hollywood's racist casting people discriminated and took their chances away, but that's still not the Oscar's fault (tho it's very possibly true)

I'm not a black person (and I don't think the Oscars are being racist here), but I agree with this. A lot of black people in this thread and on ther sites have racistly dismissed other minorities this year and last year with their Oscar complaints like they don't matter. It's a bigger problem than the nom list

And before someone argues racism against whites doesn't exist, I'm saying you're all being racist against Asians, Natice Americans, Latinos, and other minorities races so that has nothing to do with anything

That's fair. But don't be offended by black people because the articles author is white. And the title has since been changed, so I guess the OP should change it too

Even if you cross that out, my point on other races and LGBT stands.

1. I actually said in the post I'm not 100% and I could be wrong and to correct me, but I believe that no one with an open mental disorder was nominated. Not that private ones don't matter, but that's like nominating a closeted LGBT person and saying you're representing LGBTs
2. I imagine the number is surprisingly high gong by statistics, even if they don't draw attention to it
3. Even something as simple as clinical depression would count

Your logic kills me. You're intelligent, at times, but you can definitely advocate for others better. If other minorities cared about "representation" they would have advocated instead of appeasing to the mass by trying to be the token minorities.

Even from other minorities, black people get a bad reputation for advocating frequently and not going with flow.

You're only getting support from people who are very uneducated about race relations in the U.S.

Okay, gays/LGBT didn't get represented? talk about it
Asians left out? Talk about it
Latinos? talk about it
people who identify as non-humans? talk about

why attack blacks for talking about it?
