Acknowledge that fact and then try to make a change. This country can be a radically different place to live depending on your skin color. Of course skin color is not the only determinant but it can be a big one.

Fuck no I won't acknowledge that. Anytime I've ever talked to someone and they say they've been pulled over, has it been of their skin color? No, it's because they were breaking the law, speeding, loud music, or not wearing a seat belt.

Anyways, if minorities got equal representatoin in the media-equal, not "look there is one mexican guy on NBC this season, gosh they're diverse"- but actual representation, there wouldn't be a need for seperate awards ceremonies.

So writers need to write in someone special so a TV show is diverse? "Wait, there's not a black guy in here, we have to find one." No, that's the WRONG way to go. Hell, the funniest comedian in America IMO will never get a show on a major network. Why? Because the censors won't allow an act like Carlos Mencia on primetime TV. HBO on the other hand, there's a possiblity.
