Yeah, and understandably so. The fact that I can't think of anyone else who has that kind of "star power" -- and yet I can probably rattle off a LONG list of white male actors -- just serves to illustrate the point.

And yet, when Crash won Best Picture, Hollywood was so self-congratulatory about "how it deals with race" that if you didn't know any better, you'd have believed that we'd finally gotten somewhere.
