Are you not not going to watch the Oscars this year?

Pammy sounds feisty can I get her number?

Another angle on this:

"The reason that makes me SO SO VERY ANGRY is because I was so proud to be one of a handful of South Asians to have ever won an Oscar in the history of the award," Patel said on Twitter. He is, in fact, the first South Asian filmmaker to win that particular award.

Patel said he was "ecstatic" to be the third person of South Asian descent to win that night, after 2021 Best Actor nominee Riz Ahmed and Aneil Karia took home Best Live Action Short Film for The Long Goodbye.

"That's never happened before!" Patel pointed out. "And it's meaningful! It's history!"

"So I'm angry. Angry at Will Smith. Angry at Chris Rock. Angry for me. Angry for Ahmir. Angry for my fellow filmmakers," Patel went on to say. "I got back home to New York last night and saw the ceremony on my DVR and didn't have the stomach to watch it. I probably never will. Thank you, Chris — you absolute f---ing dick."

While the newly minted Oscar-winner is determined to enjoy his victory, knowing that "what happened at the ceremony and the achievement of winning will separate in time," he does blame both Rock and Smith for staining "what should have been a beautiful moment for us."

Funny he would blame Chris Rock for getting slapped.

[Ms Harmless]

if an old man says to a woman at a posh event "hey Pammy, wanna go back to mine?" and she slaps him, is she acting in "poor taste"? he'll think so

need more context to decide

I don't think it's your job to decide

I mean, one person did what every host has ever done at any awards show, especially comedians, and one did a completely bat shit thing. i dont agree with the above take but understand his frustration for the overshadowing of some wonderful recognition.

Please note: I did not talk about whether Rocks joke was offensive or in poor taste. I simply point out that stuff like that has happened at literally every damn awards show.

The other ......

Nah. Chris Rock announced the winner of the award as something like "Questlove and four white guys", lol

[epilogue]

Not an attack or an insult or an agrgessive question here:

However, how much does the above have to relate to the fact that Chris Rock just made fun of a woman vs Gervais making fun of a man? I think that is absolutely playing a roll in your guys opinion on the differences in jokes.

Perhaps im wrong.

It's an oversimplification. There are a ton of things wrapped up in this. A lot to unpack. Obviously, gender is a part of it. But I personally think it's anywhere near the largest piece of it. Personally, I think both Rock and Smith were grossly misogynistic in different ways. So, again, it's a part of the whole. But that's not really the main point, I think.

It's OK to ask a woman to come to your place in the proper context.

Read the whole thing. It seems like you're commenting on the slap specifically, but Patel's issue has more to do with Chris's other terrible joke about "QuestLove and three other white guys."

Finally South Asians can understand how the Irish feel.

she'll decide what the proper context is; this time she decided "here isn't"; you're needing more context to decide that was OK?

Oh, ill read. I thought you pulled out the part that was specific to our discussion.

My point still stands on the slap though!

Weren't you arguing that context matters for 80 pages regarding the comment towards jada?
