It seemed we were talking about diversity about every five minutes at the
Oscars.
Chris Rock opened his monologue by saying he’d never be the host if he had
to be nominated for the job. We all got the joke — Chris Rock is black, and
for the second year in the row, not a single actor nominated for an Oscar
was black.
But they also weren’t Asian or Latino. Representation is a problem in
Hollywood for all minorities, but all night long, the show’s jokes focused
almost entirely on the problem as it pertains to black people.

During a sketch in which Rock altered top movies to include actors of color,
he chose Whoopi Goldberg, Leslie Jones and Tracy Morgan. Stacey Dash wished
everyone a happy Black History Month. Kevin Hart joked, wasn’t it about
time they put him in the front row?
There was a lack of diversity in the lack of diversity. This became most
apparent when Rock brought three Asian children to the stage, posing as “
bankers” from finance firm PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Oscars]
“They sent us their most dedicated, accurate and hard working
representatives,” he said. “Please welcome Ming Zhu, Bao Ling and David
Moskowitz.”

“If anybody’s upset about that joke, just tweet about it on your phone
that was also made by these kids,” he continued.
And many people were upset, because the only mention of Asians was a
stereotype about their smarts and a light-hearted reference to child labor. | n****g
