Academy Awards Very 'White":Viewer Discretion Advised?

According to recent sound-the- alarm- type-articles in the NYT and the L.A. Times, upcoming Oscar actor nominees are all "white". As per the articles, "the whitest since the 1980's". Also, by extension , the nominated movies are mostly about main stream "white subjects". Gee, sounds like Dargis and Scott of NYT and Goldstein of LA Times are issuing a viewer discretion advisory. The implied message of the reviewers was be sure and don't let the children see how America once functioned.

The only movie I saw was "The Kings Speech". I enjoyed its simple story of overcoming a personal impediment. It was done very well. The usual minorities with all their bullshit issues were not seen or heard.

University Of California: Kind Of A Racket

Today, alledged abuses of overtime pay in the University of California's School System was carried in the San Francisco Chronicle. The article failed to point out the root cause of UC employee's cost problem. I.E. the UC system employs app. 250,000. Students attending the UC system only number app. 220,000. The students and employees must be bumping in to each other on the campus if they can ever find a parking place first.

Coincidently tonight , Turner Classic Movies is showing the classic film "On The Waterfront". The film is based on corrupt longshoreman union bosses that shakedown ship owners to hire more longshoremen than necessary to off load the docking ships.

The UC Board of Regents and their operatives are kind o' like those union bosses. The Regents shakedown the California tax payers and students to fund their quasi-racket of overpriced educational services.
