#OscarsSoWhite

I'm not usually a fan of the Oscars but this year's awards ceremony provoked more mainstream reaction when commentators commented that there was a lack of black winners or nominees.  My rebuttal of this is that the Oscars are awarded for talent and not for race and black actors and actresses have won awards before.  It is a question of ability not of race. Its very strange these commentators make no comment about the over representation of a racial group in other areas such as professional sports(black), science (Asian) etc.  What's next?  When, for example, will we see normally endowed porn actors winning the best actor prize at the adult film awards?
