If the Oscars were all about diversity, why the crude Asian joke?

I'll go ahead and comment now before this thread gets closed, but given that stereotypes have life breathed into them by the individuals of each ethnicity that personify them daily (I'm black, for reference), this is honestly just a case of circumstantial satire that happened on a national stage, albeit tactless.

Obviously due to the fact that the stage was national, no blacks/Hispanics/Asians being nominated and underscoring this fact doesn't do this scenario any good. But this is nothing new.


Just my $0.02.

Also, because he is controversial.

Can't believe he's 51. I love that dude, man.


But pop culture will zero in on whatever components serve the bias best. God I fucking hate society, most times.

I think every race/nationality/ethnicity will find something to be offended by, if that is what they are looking for. Or, they can treat it as satire, farce... as it was intended.

I just decided to Netflix and chill with the wife.

Same, can't recall the last time I watched the Oscars, myself. I never cared for them.


And no, it's not because I'm black.

As an Asian American, I didn't even know the oscars were this week. I thought it was already over months ago when will and jada made all that fuss (heard through the grapevine).

Do Asians even care about celebrities? Didn't know we did. I know I don't give a rats ass about them.

No, because you are too busy being smart at math and making consumer electronics!

Wait... too soon, op?

Make a spreadsheet with logic and macros that will automate celebrity marriages and debauchery.

Long live Chris Rock. Proof that if you can't laugh at yourself, you don't deserve to laugh at all.

Nah. Just lots of people have reasons to make us get mad at shit that doesn't really matter. Keeps us distracted from attacking the real source of the problem, I wish I had all the answers, but the mock outrage factory that we deal with now.

Opportunity for roles is one thing, but this controversy is about winning awards. Can somebody please tell me what movies/roles everybody thinks should have been nominated? Beast's of no nation was not eligible. I heard Will Smith was not very good, to put it nicely, in Concussion. I didn't see/hear much about Straight Outta Compton so i'm open to hearing how that was, and who might have been so amazing in it. I'm sure there are others, but literally every time this comes up, those are the only 3 anybody mentions, black or white.

I do suspect judging is swayed by topic, spotlight because about raping priests got more attention than it deserved. But when it's about a black issue fucks are not given.
