Who even notices this kind of thing? Black people and guilt-laden white people.

I never noticed that the cast of Star Wars was all white until a friend of mine at college pointed it out.

Yes, well the joke is on Mr. Pryor. 200 years from now, whites will be rarer than hen’s teeth.

I've got questions about all of this.
How come virtually every American-financed movie has a Brit or a Canadian in it? How come so many of the Smithsonian channel features are made by Brit production companies? There are kids and young people who are beginning to believe, I think, that America barely participated in WWII, and that Great Britain really fought the war single-handedly.
UCLA, USC, and other schools are pouring bachelor's and master's degree holders into the cinema world, and we can't find Americans who can do this work? And now, the production companies and studios are hiring consults to teach Brit actors to speak like Americans?
What is going on here?

On Bloomberg, they just said that “Unbroken” was snubbed.

How many articles are there decrying the lack of White, Hispanic or Asian nominees when the Blacks have their race centrist award shows?

I wonder if The Academy will do the circular firing squad thing, allowing American Sniper to squeak to a win with a plurality?

Next year, don’t waste your time remaking Annie.
