Wow.

So one half of the directors duo is Asian.
One half of the best original screenwriters is Asian.
The best supporting actor is Asian.
The best leading actress is Asian.
The best supporting actress was the token White girl in an Asian ensemble. (The luck of the yellow must have rubbed off on her!)

Michelle Yeoh became the first woman who identifies as Asian nominated in the Best Actress category. A record four Asian actors received acting nominations: Hong Chau, Stephanie Hsu, and winners Ke Huy Quan and Yeoh.

We were coming along so well but it seems Asians have ousted the Africans as the preferred 'people of color'. #BlackLivesMatter has failed, did we learn nothing? This White and Asian coalition spells the end for African-American performance and appraisal!!

Wanta piss an Asian off? Lump them in with white people when it comes to anti-white discrimination and tell them to their faces they are "white" or "the same as white people." They will not only not be pleased to hear that, they will call you out on it because you're jealous of their success for being hard workers, rather than having any "privilege" handed to them by society.

Maybe if "white" directors and stars weren't making di many derivative comic book movies and instead made dune original content they'd win more awards
