“Hollywood should make more diverse projects, especially sinceMagic Mike XXL was arguably the only major film that comes close to fitting that description?”

Blacks are 12.6% of the American population, and 10% of Oscar nominations since 2000 have gone to black actors. Other minorities get nothing like the (slightly less than )fair shake black actors do. If anyone should be boycotting the oscars its Latinos.

Blacks are 12.6% of the American population, and 10% of Oscar nominations since 2000 have gone to black actors. Will Smith owned the box office for a decade.
