I may not have faced discrimination because I'm black (because evidently, im not haha) but i have been the bunt of discrimination for other reasons - but i dont say that the oscars werent 'sexually diverse' this year because not many gay people won an oscar (although the host and his underwear phwoaarrrrrrr)

And the older woman comparison is true. I'm sure Meryl Streep should just have her own category. The only older woman to ever win anything that I can ever remember.  |
But its not as though they weren't given the part because they were black - it just so happens that the films up for the awards didnt star any black characters - and that is the ONLY reason. It has nothing to do with ethnicity.
