‘Revenant’ director Iñárritu makes history, blasts Trump
NY Post ^ | Feb 7 2016 | Lou Lumenik

Posted on 02/07/2016 11:52:59 AM PST by WilliamIII

The most surprising Oscar race in recent memory took another dramatic twist with Alejandro Iñárritu taking aim at Donald Trump after becoming the first-ever winner of back-to-back awards from The Directors Guild of America for the survival drama “The Revenant.”

After the win, the Mexican director told reporters that Trump’s plan to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants from Mexico would “betray the foundation of this country. The power of this country [the U.S.] relies on diversity.”

But I thought the Oscars were racist! How’d a Mexican win anything?

“There [were] more than 120 Mexicans in the kitchen that serve you hot food, and that was the best party I had,”

There's also countless amounts of Mexicans bringing heroin into the country, raping women, robbing people, killing people and generally just taking jobs and taxes from US CITIZENS pal.

Something the press and Hollywood will never acknowlege......

A mediocre director at best who gets an affirmative action, unprecedented, two in a row Director's Guild Award and may go on to do it at the Oscars.

In the mean time, the vastly superior Ridley Scott is Oscarless.

I hope this guy blasts Trump — and praises illegal alien diversity — from the Oscar podium. More great publicity for The Donald!

As a Mexican who is so worried about illegal immigrants, maybe he should address the way the Mexican government treats theirs.

The foreigners [sic] shall not participate in the country’s political affairs. - Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution

Perhaps we should try that here.

I don’t give a flying flip what this dumb ass has to say about anything nor do I have the slightest interest in seeing his stupid movie.

I decided to watch the two "prestige" nominations for the Academy Awards of last year, Birdman and Whiplash.

I watched Whiplash first and thought it was outstanding.

I them watch the eventual winner, Birdman, and thought it was a garbled mess.

Now that I find out the director is a Mexican liberal, I understand the choice of his film over the superior Whiplash.

Very sad to see a successful Mexican director show his ignorance and bias. Does he know the difference between legal and illegal immigration? Does he know the immigration laws in the USA vs. Mexico?

He appears to be a very foolish man!

No the power of this country doesn’t rely on diversity. It has always relied on God. The real God.

I wish these celebrities all came with a roll of industrial strength duct tape. They need to shut the **** up and just do what it is that they do.

“The power of this country [the U.S.] relies on diversity.”

It is always nice when a resident of a third world country feels he needs to lecture Americans on how to do things to duplicate the greatness of his third world hell hole back home.

A wall to keep people out who are illegal. Oh my what a horrible concept, how dare this country ever protect it’s own borders while this Mexican here has no problem with how Mexico enforces their southern border.

Reading that VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS site is heartbreaking. If our laws were actually being enforced, every one of those people would be alive today. Their deaths should not only be laid at the feet of their alien killers, but also be placed in Obama’s legacy, since he is the one barring our immigration laws from being enforced. Enforcing those laws should be the Number ONE job of our next president.

There's also countless amounts of Mexicans bringing heroin into the country...
Which wind up with some of their best customers in Hollywood.

It also has been fairly blind to ethnicities (Democrat treatment of black people notwithstanding) but not to values and principles.
