The Oscars

Didn't watch and don't really care but this is classic libtardism. Michelle Yeoh, don't know her, became the first Asian woman to win the Oscar for best actress. The MSM is giddy today over this milestone. NPR went a step further and said she was the, "first person who IDENTIFIES as Asian" to win the award.

My first thought was why is Hollywood so racist? It took this long for an Asian woman to win the award.

I can’t keep track. Are we counting Indians as Asian? How about Russians or Armenians?

Is she going to be on our money next?
Anna May Wong didn't get an oscar but her face made it on a quarter...

Apparently Hollywood missed Nancy Kwan in the 1960 film, The World of Suzie Wong, co-staring William Holden. Racists!

Dot or feathers?

Bob_C

Feathers are Asian too I think.

There is no industry in the world that is more racist, uber narcissistic, misogynistic, bigoted, ageist, pedophilic, and completely devoid of class. It is truly the trash of industry.

So everyone on this board is just going to ignore the snub of Tia Carrere for her performance in Wayne's World?

Indians and Armenians yes, white Russians no

After doing a little research, that is a valid criticism of the Academy.

No love for the Chinese-Phillipinos

Good God she was a horrible singer. You only liked her for her breastacles. That and you had a thing for Garth and his love of Zima.
