Two-time Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson weighed in on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy this week, and suggested the industryâs diversity issues could be remedied by âkilling offâ the Academyâs many older, white members.
âItâs hilarious,â the British actress told the Belfast Telegraph earlier this week in regards to the Oscars nominating controversy.
In January, the controversy was renewed after the Academy announced its acting nominations included no people of color for a second straight year.
âItâs no change there. Itâs not as if itâs ever been awash with people of color. Letâs face it, the Oscar membership is mainly old, white men,â Thompson noted of the issue of diversity within the Academyâs membership.
Membership changes will eventually remove voting privileges from many older, white Academy members; however, Thompson feels the process of purging the older white people could be expedited.
âThatâs the fact of it. Either you wait for them all to die, or kill them off slowly. Thereâs so many options, arenât there?â she said.
The actress, who won Oscars for her roles in films Howards End (1992) and Sense and Sensibility (1996), previously described the British public as âracistâ for its response to Europeâs migrant crisis.
âWe have to open our door to more refugees. The idea of 3,000 people in Calais who have been through unspeakable things makes me feel very ashamed,â Thompson said last September. âWeâre not even missing our quotas. Thatâs really shaming. So I think itâs got a lot to do with racism.â
Thompson added: âIf these people were white, European, that were coming from some dictatorship in Bosnia. If they were coming I think we would feel quite differently about it ⦠Weâve got plenty of room for them.â

Shut up and act, Enema Thompson.
Emma is why good directors don’t let actors go off script.
What a clueless, stupid, moonbat bit*h.
Look the left want to kill off Old White Men
The Right want to kill the left
The lefts target is based on race and gender... so the left is racist and sexist genocide
The right target is based on the lefts racist and sexist genocide
I wish I had a nickel for every time my life has been threatened because of my race, religion, sex, age and political affiliations. And they expect me to quietly surrender my guns? Molon labe.
Careful, Emma. If they decide to kill off the old white females, you’re over 50.
Let’s see Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, I would like to remind her that she has achieved her wealth and fame due to old white people.
This is reminiscent of the “self-hating Jew” syndrome except that now it’s “self-hating whites”. There are quite a number of them and growing. And they’re usually the more successful ones.
I believe it’s an insanity that stems from a dissonance of what they’ve been brainwashed into believing (all races are equal) and reality (all races are not equal). To cope with that conflict they would prefer destroying their own race than change what they believe.
Long past carousel. Time to send a sandman for her.
Start with your ex first!
The best solution - give every person who ‘performs’ an Oscar - a ‘participation’ award.
That’s fair. Here’s my nomination: Trump singing Green Acres:

It has been pointed out that the White Male is the New N*****.
Did she ever do Shakespeare? Other than perhaps playing “Desdemona”?
OK, Emma, let’s start with all those old gay white men. How about Elton John?
Does that work for ya?
Damn. Always liked her as an actress, but as her fellow Brits would say, apparently she’s gone round the bend.
Wow! And she looks so normal. I guess one never knows who is a total complete padded room type nutcase these days. Her and those like her should all be sharing that padded room with the fancy girdles that wrap their arms around their backs.
They have their own black awards shows are included in ours and still it is not enough FU
emma thompson is just issuing a very loud and very public mating call for young non-white pool boys
because no one else meeting her (ahem) needs
