Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling says diversity scandal is 'racist' against white people
I read the comments and agree with a lot of what was said. This whining has gone far enough. This award is based on acting, not skin color. This insistence of being included whether the part being played sucked, is wrong. Period.
"One can never really know, perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list ... Do we have to take from this that there should be lots of minorities everywhere?"
Some of the comments are below:
Only when we award on merit rather than race, gender or sexual orientation will we experience true advancement.
Remember Denzel Washington....you don't hear him crying racism. Reason he is a great actor and
doesn't have to hide behind skin color.
Exactly, she is saying what most reasonable people are thinking but afraid to speak out and be called racist. These days anyone who speaks out is going to be called a racist. Now we are supposed to have more black actors, more black films, not because they are good but because of diversity! It's like forcing people to eat chocolate ice cream when they want vanilla, make people who like scotch to drink gin because we need more parity. I go to the movies to be entertained, I don't care what color the actors are only that they are good, I don't care how many black or white people (or others) are in a film as long as it's enjoyable.
