Lupita Nyong'o is the latest star to address the complete lack of diversity among this year's acting nominees for the Academy Award. The actress, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 2014 for her performance in 12 Years a Slave, wrote on Instagram; 'I am disappointed by the lack on inclusion in this year's Academy Award nominations. 'It has me thinking about unconscious prejudice and what merits prestige in our culture.'

I’m consciously prejudiced against people who tell me I have to recognize them just because they’re black.
It’s what liberals do: project
They're no more "black" than we Caucasians are "white." I'm still waiting for the "blacks" to protest the overwhelmingly "black" NBA. We gots' ta' get rid of lots and lots of "Blacks" to get back to 12% population ratio.
Now I know why Will Smith wasn’t given the nod. So all this could happen.
I give her a forum because she won an Oscar. Bitching and whining about the Oscars is a given for anyone winning one.
It’s like if you win the Masters and get a green jacket, you get a lifelong invitation to play in the tournament.
I think its about time that the Hollywood leftists start instituting award quotas.
Come to think of it, its high time for movie production quotas, actor and actress quotas, and director quotas.
Its about time the chickens come home to their Hollywood roost.
We can’t help it. It’s genetic. We are born racists just because of a skin color we had no choice in. Sort of like the “gay gene,” right?
So why, then do we have to be sorry for it? And why not let us have our own Pride Parade?
They are so right, there has been an utter lack of asians for decades
Liberals are racist.
In a way I’m loving this, to see liberals getting hoisted on their own petard.
The whining is endless-——I’m so sick of it that I will now intentionally AVOID “black” movies and I am a very frequent moviegoer.

Maybe he was punished for having Trump on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"
The day I give a shyte about the opinion of someone named Lupita Nyong’o is the day I put my butt in the air and bow to Mecca.

How many non-Chinese were nominated for the Chinese version of the Academy Awards?
Sounds to me like she wants everyone to be consciously prejudiced in favor of her skin color.
I’m personally offended by a bunch of second rate over-entitled self absorbed Progressive whiners b!tching about not getting the Oscar that they are entitled to for being a minority .... suck it up babies!
I guess these black geniuses didn’t see The Revenant.The movie should win every category that Its’ been nominated for! The director may not win,since he won last year.
She’s been on and in practically every fashion, gossip and movie magazine. Liberals worship her. Talk about over exposed and still complaining.
She bemoans a lack of inclusion. It has been years since I paid any attention to the Oscars, but I believe 5 people are included in nominations for every category. Did they only do 3 this year?
