And don't say "the bad ones" because there's plenty of poor actors across the board.

Which film critic is gonna be negative towards somebody considered a minority without risking being labeled a bigot?

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.

Are you suggesting that film critics don't critique minority actors and films in the same way as other actors and films? 'Cus if so then that's a load of ****. Pretty much every Tyler Perry Film gets slaughtered by the critics, Will Smith hasn't had a well received film in years and most recently, the Aladdin remake got slated despite featuring an almost entirely ethnic minority cast. Ghostbusters got slated, Ocean's 8 didn't get a warm reception etc. Need me to keep going?

Normal people don't worry about being seen as bigoted because we know we aren't, it's only a worry for the self aware bigot.

I think your whole 'PC is ruining Hollywood!' argument is based on nothing.
