So, does that mean when white people become a minority and they don't include them they won't be eligible?

I'm pro-diversity, and that is still a bullshit rule. By forcing every film to have diversity, you're actually making films as a whole less diverse. And it doesn't make any sense in some historical films and etc.

Can't wait for some neo-nazi to suggest pharmaceutical companies are racist because these heroin deaths are more than likely disproportionately white and then everyone loses their mind

Seeing as the amount of film awards that I think are actually worth a shit these days are slim to none, I've little knowledge of how the BAFTA's operate. Do they have a best foreign film category? If so, would an Asian film made by a 100% Asian cast and crew, only financed by Asian backers be disqualified?

"Emergent early childhood: in the literature it is said that there's a technical term for people who believe that boys and girls are indistinguishable and are molded into their different natures by parental socialization - the term for such people is 'childless." - Steven Pinker

Amazing how losing suddenly makes people better at humor. I got a laugh out of this.

The pinned tweet on her page is making me think of something larger (don't know how to embed tweets on UM)
"Do you mean due to the rockets' red glare and bombs bursting in the air? Because this is exactly how America was created."
Her response to "If a black person was kidnapped and tortured, every major city would be in flames right now. #BLMKidnapping" (recent Chicago kidnapping/anti-white/anti-Trump thing)
It's this weird deflection that seems prevalent in race discussions. The original point is that if the scenario was race-reversed (white attackers, black victim), there would be large social media outrage. But this person instead chooses to ignore present day society and go back to all of American history or at the very least one range of years and change the topic.
But isn't she just missing what the original comment was all about? People would care more if it was a black victim, according to her (first statement) -- the history seems irrelevant while ignoring all the progress 'black' twitter has made on the liberal political eye.
Is this self preservation? In that her success (100K+ followers) is dependent on never achieving the goal or is her reply more important? Racial and women topics seem to go into 'history' all the time, like human history is as constant as say laws of physics.
(here is a similar discussion when the Joe Mixon story has resurfaced because of Brent Musberger's comments & the view of Mixon did not get punished harshly enough for his domestic violence)
