TartanJon Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Marlee Martin won Best Actress for Children of a Lesser God in 1986 (also the youngest) Can anybody point out any roles that a disabled,Hispanic or Asian actor played this year that would have been worthy of an Oscar nomination ? Or can we be honest here and say the real reason you are all throwing out "what about the disabled or the Hispanics ?" is because you have a deep rooted hatred for darkies. You're in good company though because I've always found the Tamb pretty racist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I'm so glad I don't pay attention to films let alone their award shows. I'm, also glad i spend time reading the reasoning's of academics in the field. One such being Thomas Sowell. Here's what he had to say about the Oscars, he's a high school drop(from Harlem) out who joined the marines and is now a senior fellow at stanford university, political and social theory. "The latest tempest in a teapot controversy is over a lack of black nominees for this year’s Academy Awards in Hollywood. The assumption seems to be that different groups would be proportionally represented if somebody were not doing somebody else wrong. That assumption carries great weight in far more important things than Academy Awards and in places more important than Hollywood, including the Supreme Court of the United States. In an earlier era, the groupthink assumption was that groups that did not succeed as often, or as well, were genetically inferior. But is our current groupthink assumption based on any more hard evidence? Having spent decades researching racial and ethnic groups around the world, I have never yet found a country in which all groups — or even most groups — are even roughly equally represented in most endeavors. Nor have I been the only one with that experience. The great French historian Fernand Braudel said, “In no society have all regions and all parts of the population developed equally.” A study of military forces around the world failed to find a single one in which in which the ethnic makeup of the military was the same as that of the society. My own favorite example of unrepresentativeness, however, is right at home. Having watched National Football League games for more than 50 years, I have seen hundreds of black players score touchdowns, but I have never seen one black player kick the extra point..." http://www.investors.com/politics/on-the-right/thomas-sowell-oscars-football-and-the-demand-for-villains/ Edited March 1, 2016 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the hispanic community, asian community or any other minority raised the same concerns regarding nominations as the african american community did this year, I expect that you and others like you would belittle and dismiss it just as you have done with the african american community.
