Some are pointing out this irony: Despite #Barbie’s own onscreen diversity, the obsession over its snubs is an example of white feminism at its worst, in which slights toward two white women are centered at the expense of acknowledging women of color

Contrary to viral opinion, there are no pat reasons behind some of the notable exclusions at the Oscars, writes senior editor of diversity and inclusion Rebecca Sun for THR's Culture Shift.

reducing the very real and strategic annihilation of a native american tribe to just a “mass murder plot” because you’re mad your favorite barbie movie only got 8 oscar nominations instead of 10 is such peak white feminism behavior oml

Asking Michelle Yeoh to be outraged behind two white women not getting a nomination when she the first Asian actress and second WOC in the 96 year history of the Oscars, is disgusting and tone deaf. All while ignoring America Ferrera nomination in the Barbie is cruel.
Michelle Yeoh, who won the best actress Oscar last year, was asked on TODAY about Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie being snubbed in the #Oscars nominations, and she said that in this life, "joy and disappointment, it seems to go hand in hand."

Look. The Barbie movie wasn’t good. It wasn’t funny. It’s entire purpose was to sell merch (including super-feminist anti-cellulite cream). The real feminist story of the Oscar noms is Lily Gladstone being the first Native American woman to be nominated. Girl bosses don’t @ me.

Remember this little girl? Kim Phuc Phan Thi was burnt by the US napalm bombing of #Vietnamese civilians in 1972. More than 50 years later the US is still bombing civilians, in #Gaza. https://t.co/YqUpRMUCVy

people used to be able to boycott entire transit systems…. nowadays ask someone to boycott mcdonalds or starbucks and here they go talking about how “it’s my comfort food!” “it’s hard to break out of coffee habits!!” “but it’s close to where i live!!”

George Carlin: "Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. Israeli murderers are called commandos. Arab commandos are called terrorists."

Dangling basic human rights in front of us every 4 years isnt progress. "If you want <insert human right> then vote for me" is low key a threat

BREAKING: Biden has cut off funding to @UNRWA, which provides life-saving aid to 2.2 million Palestinians in Gaza every day. The US is collectively punishing Palestinians, who rely on UNRWA to survive, based on Israeli allegations against 0.0004% of UNRWA's staff. Outrageous.

Someone broke into my house and was holding me at gunpoint in the basement until the police arrived and negotiated a two-house solution wherein I get to keep the basement.

Within an hour of the US State Dept issuing a statement on (unsubstantiated) allegations abt UNRWA workers being involved in the Oct 7 attacks & cutting funding, the news du jour has become this and not the ICJ rulings. 112 days & these allegations + the US response drop today?

So let me get this straight; the 1st Indigenous woman finally wins a mainstream award, & Jews are underrepresented? 👀 After years of redface & blackface & savages & mammies it's finally being addressed & you (rich, Jewish, cis white people) feel held back?

Taraji P. Henson is making HERSTORY. With #TheColorPurple hitting #1 at the US Box Office, she collects her 9th number #1 film, 5th as a lead, 3rd as the top billed actor. A record for a Black actress. And her performances are always top tier. GIVE MOTHER HER COINS & FLOWERS.💜

I will never again trust anyone in even a remotely responsible position who hasn’t unequivocally called for an end to this genocide. Did you ‘see both sides?’ Fuck you. Did you highlight the nuance? Fuck you. Did you wait until the tide turned in public support? Fuck you.

We don't know anything about these characters. They've had no character growth or arcs. Good luck. Plus, where's America Chávez?

A country of people that sends their children each day to be potentially slaughtered by weapons of war and their only major resistance comes in the form of a “gun debate” will likely never demonstrate the political will to prevent those atrocities to Black and Brown kids abroad.
