THE WHOLE KERFUFFLE ILLUSTRATES THE PROBLEM WITH "DIVERSITY":
Actress Charlotte Rampling says #OscarsSoWhite movement is racist -- against whites! (GERSH KUNTZMAN, 1/22/16, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS)
A top white actress dropped a bombshell on the #OscarsSoWhite movement, declaring that black actors "did not deserve" to be nominated for Academy Awards this year.British star Charlotte Rampling -- nominated this year for her leading role in "45 Years" -- said in a French radio interview Friday that all the talk of an Oscars whitewash is actually anti-white."It is racist to whites," Rampling told Europe 1. "One can never really know, but perhaps the black actors did not deserve to make the final list."
When the Academy nominates more blacks next year won't it just be quota hiring, not recognizining talent?
