Welcome back -- as the Oscars edged closer like some disease clown a new study claims academy voters are way less diverse in the movie going public.
Oscar voters are 94% white and 77%.
Male.
So an industry that sees America as racist is as diverse as -- David duke rally of course the median age -- 62 which means their parents white.
There's other follicles are as big idiot at their feelings if I liked how they make me sick it every one of -- force stomachs.
Actually have to stomachs -- disparate -- battle but relax minorities aren't the only outsiders here are some folks that he never see in the movies.
An American soldier who's not a Psycho.
A -- not portrayed as a wild -- knots of corporate head who is corrupt.
An Italian is not a monster.
A community activist who's really just a protestor living -- the government.
