Are the Oscars that White?

This past weekend, the 88th Oscars occurred in Los Angeles.  Chris Rock hosted them, and before the Oscars there was a lot of backlash for no African American actors and actresses being nominated for any Oscar.   Chris Rock was pressured by the African American community to drop out from being the host,  but Rock held his position.  In his opening speech, he completely destroyed the idea of how racist the Oscars really are, and talked about how African-Americans should be focusing on different issues, issues worse than the Oscars dilemma.  Al Sharpton had even lead a protest near the Oscars because he felt the issue was important enough to protest on.  Personally, I agree with Chris Rock how Hollywood is racist, but I feel that the Oscars was not a significant issue.  Chris Rock brought up how other races don't get the same opportunities in the Hollywood as other races.  There seems to be much bigger problems than African-Americans not being nominated for any award, but how Hollywood seems to typecast Asians in similar roles.  Racist or not, there are more important issues involving Hollywood than the Oscars.
