    Lack of racial diversity in Hollywood movies

    Here is John Oliver's take on the issue. It's 4 mins 45 seconds long.

    If you are a shrinking violet who can't handle the f word then please don't watch.

    I haven't seen most of the movies used as examples , but I did see The Last Samurai , and the character he was referring to WAS white. Tom Cruise played a white US Naval officer. Cleopatra played the queen of Egypt. She was white , too. LOL

      I watched the BET Awards this last time around. I was highly, highly offended that all the nominees were black.
