Every critic going?

You think a black actor has never been criticised?

Unless you mean a critic is not going to come out with "This minority only got cast because they are a minority" then you're right, that's bigoted.

Any Black actor that has been criticised, you can bet the person was labeled a racist for doing so.

That's never happened.

People have (rightly) commented on the entire spectrum of nominations each year being so white. Which is a symptom of the screen itself lacking diversity.

But I suppose it's just a coincidence that the very best of the best in the film industry are white.
