Your welcome Joaquin :-)

Joaquin wasn't the only one who criticized BAFTA.

"Towards the end of the ceremony, BAFTA president Prince William gave a speech in which he criticized BAFTA's recent diversity crisis, following a year in which no black talent were nominated in the main acting categories.

"We find ourselves talking about the need to do more to address diversity in this sector," said the royal. "This can not be right in this day and age.""

wow, perfectly said

in this day and age, we really can't go by talent and skill anymore

that's disgusting behavior

we really need to diversify the NBA next. get some more white, asian, and hispanic men in there.

I mean, who cares about what's best, it's all about including everybody, regardless of quality.

You like that?

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Being athletically talented isn't as subjective as judging an actor.

Asinine comment.

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

disagree

I happen to prefer layups over dunks and all shots coming from within the paint

go fuck yourself, steph curry

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Points are points. Look at the scoreboard dipshit.

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

exactly

so, it is just as subjective

thanks for admitting your previous error

takes a real man to do that

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

No. Points are objective, not subjective.

Fucking hell I need a worthy adversary.

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

the method in which you choose to score them is subjective, hero

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

If we are going by the rules of the fucking game no they are not.

You are an idiot.

And thanks for giving me a clue as to who you are a sock for.

I busted you up like Tina Turner in the studio bitch.

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

sock? like tube sock?

is this sexual harassment?

[–] BuckSwope (3511) 5 years ago

Im gonna bounce and watch the game.

Don't go crazy on the comments while I'm gone.

I can't believe I am having a conversation over the meaning of the words "objective" and "subjective".

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

bye, babe

kisses

As long as racists believe that talent and skill are only from white actors, then it will remain a problem. Denial much?

"we really need to diversify the NBA next."

They did:
"The racial dynamic of the NBA in the 1970s was, in many ways, the result of various responses to the civil rights movement. Black NBA players in the fifties and sixties were selected by NBA team owners with an eye towards the racial (in)tolerance of white fans. The NBA had an unofficial quota of three or four black players per team for fifteen years, and while star-caliber players shone in African American leagues, only “role players”—as opposed to athletic, creative scorers—were chosen to cross over."

[–] sphincter (11) 5 years ago

never said talent and skill lived in only white actors, but hey, whatever gets you off

WHITE, ASIAN, and HISPANIC men need to be added to the NBA in modern times, to fit modern standards.

this isn't 1970

“I don’t think anybody wants a handout or preferential treatment,” continued Phoenix. “People just want to be acknowledged and appreciated and respected for their work."

Here here. And it just so happens maybe other works were just better? Here's an idea, lets just have every person of color win the BAFTA instead. Joaquin will rejoice. Hell, maybe have only people of color win every year just to show true diversity in the making. Less whites the better and all is great in the world of Hollywood. If them whities complain, remind them to be tolerant, accepting, their privilege, and diversity :).
