Chris Rock addressed Hollywood’s diversity controversy as the film industry handed out its shiny gold statues at the 88th Annual Academy Awards. “I counted at least 15 black people on that montage,” Rock joked after he hit the Oscar stage Sunday night following clips from the year’s nominated films. “You realize if they nominated hosts I wouldn’t even get this job. You’d be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now.”
Rock addressed the pressure on him to boycott the show.
“I thought about quitting, I thought about it real hard,” he said, before deciding. “They’re gonna have the Oscars anyway!”
Rock summed up racism in Hollywood.
“Everyone wants to know in the world, is Hollywood racist?” he said. “Is it ‘burning cross racist’? No. Is it ‘fetch me some lemonade racist’? No. It’s a different type of racist…. Hollywood is ‘sorority racist.’ It’s like, we like you Rhonda, but you’re not a Kappa.”
“We want opportunity,” Rock concluded. “We want black actors to get the same opportunities.”

I don't see any Asians , Hispanics , Latinos , etc complaining about this. Also when are Caucasian people going to be nominated in BET awards?
