>“Go out and do the work,” said Daniels, who was nominated for best director for “Precious” back in 2010. “Oscars so white! So what?” >Daniels continued: “Do your work.

What's his problem?
Isaac Foster
I agree with his message but not his motivations
Samuel Clark
In the age of participation and score less sports he expects awards be giving based on merit? Ha!
Hunter Powell
I think it's more an issue of many minorities not really getting the spotlight. How many Asian actors ever get top billing in a production? How many can you name? Jackie Chan, Jet Li, John Woo, Steven Yeun, and the Asian guy from Harold and Kumar. Three of them almost never make movies any more.
I'm not saying you've gotta write Asians and blacks and Flips and make your cast look like a bowl of Reese's Puffs, but there have GOT to be some roles that these minorities can get that could at least give them a fighting chance.
Chase Russell
This guy gets it. Fucking floored me when Will Smith of all people complained about the Oscars being super white. One, he made his career off selling rap to white kids, and two he could personally send every black kid to acting school if he wanted.
Parker Bell
You'll be seeing asian actors a lot real soon, China has been investing a ton into all the big studios in Hollywood lately.
Mason Myers
That's just Jada talking through him. Will Smith has an absolutely shit personality and basically exists to do his wife's bidding now
Jose Hill
I guess he has a point, considering he's a complete fucking hack who won an oscar anyway. Also wasn't OscarsSoWhite a hashtag from literally a year ago? Why's he bringing it up now?
Camden Green
It seems the nigs are starting it up again.
Samuel Long
>12 years a slave dominates oscars 2 years(most voters didn't even see the film) >Selma and other blacks got nominated last year, although David O. Did get snubbed >one year with zero blacks and everyone loses their minds
Literally only white sjws give a damn about this shit, the average black person doesn't care
Chase Foster
I don't think he's ever won an Oscar.
Jacob Myers
Because he's a racist white supremacist nazi.
Jacob Ross
>he expects awards be giving Re-read OP, you dunce.
Owen Jones
Have you never met a black person before? The ones that live in middle class families are the ones complaining about it. You know, the ones that don't have any real problems to protest.
Robert Jenkins
You can't really force diversity in film because they require certain settings and history. If the audience demands Chinese epics for example, you can't just shove some niggers into the background of Ancient China. It wouldn't make sense. Y'a know what I mean? If slavery movies become as big as Marvel movies, I'm sure we can fit some niggers into Hollywood.
Juan Williams
Why? Who the fuck cares? Hollywood is about making bank. If people preferred to see movies about chinks, Chinese movies would be top of the box office, but they aren't. What is? Capeshit films with attractive people, so that's what they'll continue to make. Supply and demand.

12 years got the pity vote because that movie won one or two Oscars.
Kevin Allen
What about Hispanic/Latinos? They're a larger population but yet you never really see them in movies or on TV.
Isaiah Parker
Also white leads perform way better in the asian market.
Cooper Martin
Hispanic is such a broad term though, you got white ones, brown ones, etc.
Jacob Watson
...
Ayden Torres
They have their own industry that caters solely to them
Samuel Carter
You also never see them in acting schools.
Noah Martin
I'm Asian and I hate watching Asians on screen. They just can't compete and I don't want to see inferior products. Stop with the white guilt already, it is insulting desu.
Ryder Anderson
Wtf he's literally /our guy/
Luis Powell
>Why's he bringing it up now? Because he was asked about it. Because the Oscars are around the corner.
Sebastian Young
Not really. They did a bit with Chris Rock on the streets in LA and most of the black people he asked about the Oscars didn't give a shit and the movies they were supporting were normie tier shit.
Brandon Gonzalez
He expects awards be GIVING?!?
Xavier Wright
As a Western-educated southeast asian girl, I agree. I think White males should be applauded for their individualism, creativity and ability to take charge.
A lot of Caucasian men assume we're into them because we think they're rich or have big penises, and while that certainly helps, the real reason we like them is because they're proven to be accomplished as a people.
I admit I used to buy into liberal feminist arguments that White patriarchy was to blame for all the world's problems, but if I'm being honest with myself, I don't think I would mind being used for sex if I think it will help advance your cause somehow. I realize now that's what my race is best at, we're not even the "good" kind of Asians with high IQs and organizational skills.
We're jungle gooks and I'm a jungle gook whore. So please treat me like a third world monkey slut. I promise to sucky, fucky and love you long time.
And I won't even charge you five dollars for it.
Wyatt Watson
Nice roleplay faggot
Ayden Kelly
. There wasn't any legit noms that could have happened. "Beasts of No Nation" getting snubbed was horseshit. Easily tied to studio control of the academy and Netflix not being see as a studio. That movie was really well done with amazing child acting of all things.
That will smith movie? Total fucking oscar bait shit movie. Should we nominate will smith just because he's black? Even though he did a shit accent in a predictable sob story piece of movie?
Hollywood certainly has issues, but people bemoaning that shitty movies don't get nominated is not helping the problem.
Jeremiah Foster
>As a Western-educated southeast asian girl... this is literally the only board i'd believe this on
Jacob Bailey
Most movies are shit, and they are worried about quotas? Asians are like 1 percent of the population anyway, and the films reflect this properly.
The only time movies get above trash bin tier is around oscar season, and half of them are try-hard garbage.
Matthew Sanders
Lucy Liu gets "white," non-racial roles all the time. Top biller. And I want to lick her butthole.
