Chris Rock is under fire for an Oscars skit that seems to poke fun at Asians for their math skills and other Asian-American stereotypes.
Chris Rock tackeled several controversial issues during his Oscar hosting gig on Sunday, but a joke about Asians has left many people with a bad taste in their mouths.
During the Oscars, Rock talked about calculating all the votes by Academy members and that accounting firm
To parade little kids on stage w/no speaking lines merely to be the butt of a racist joke is reductive & gross. Antithesis of progress.
