Motion Picture Academy Caves to #OscarsSoWhite Mob

June 30, 2016| by Donn Marten

The political correctness lynch mobs have won again. Months after accusations that the Oscars were plagued by institutional racism, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has surrendered and will increase it’s diversity in advance of next year’s awards. It still won’t be enough however – just wait and see.

The Guardian reports “Idris Elba and Tina Fey invited to more diverse Academy after #OscarsSoWhite”:

    The 2016 membership invite list for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is 46% women and 41% people of color, the most diverse intake yet, according to the organization’s figures.

Even more "diverse" than the general population.

Not that it matters much. There aren't a lot of excellent movies being made these days anyway.
