Every Black Actor Who Won an Academy Award

"... In 87 years of Academy Awards, just 14 men and women of color have earned Oscars for Best Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, or Supporting Actress..."

One of the most liberal groups and complaining that there is not enough black representation.

Good lord what an entitlement mindset.

Make better movies and select better characters to play.

RedSkysays...

It's more than black (and asians and latinos who incidentally get almost no award representation) are just a smaller portion of the population, or more directly a smaller part of the movie industry.

If anything, there's a bias against female directors, generally female senior movie staff and leading actresses in casting and employment since on a population basis you would expect it to be roughly 50-50.

But then again at least at the actor/actress level, studios just make what sells. Perhaps there simply isn't the demand for as many female led movies or it's not something enough people pay to go see.

Don't worry Bobby. There's always room for improvement and us liberals will drag society along until you see the light.
