Will Smith will not attend the Oscars in row over lack of diversity

[Curmudgeon]

Honestly, I think this commotion is pretty racist in itself. Those who are making a big deal about the lack of colored actors are the ones making a distinction on skin color.

I'm not an American so maybe I just don't fully grasp the cultural dynamics and everything, but the emphasis on the 'black community' as a seperate entity from the rest of the nation has always struck me as odd. If anything, by differentiating between ethnic groups you sustain a form of seperation in a society.
