Before the great “diversity ” in Hollywood. This 1960 “B” film tells of the desperate plight of a “light complexioned Negro girl” played by Sonya Wilde who marries the wealthy blonde scion of a snobbish society family without revealing her background. Do I hear trouble?
Here’s one sure way to get an Oscar nomination.
Taking a cue from the title of this 1960 movie, perhaps the best way to get an Oscar nod in diversity-free 2015 would be to pass for white.
Oscars so White…so what’s new?

The #OscarsSoWhite debate is pointless.
How often do TV series and movies even come in a variety of colors…other than white? Clearly, the Oscars will forever be “white” dominate. As a culture we focus on the the most minuscule things.

Turn off your radiation tubes, wake up and think for yourselves Kings & Queens.
Peace,
