36402, True, but my theatre was 95% white.

White people are all up in this mix too, believe it or not.
They are the ones who are pushing this for awards and all of that.
Not quite sure why -- probably because the director is white.
Same with 'Hustle and Flow' -- white director = automatic appreciation
by artistic circles.
Had a black director made either film, they'd get a fraction
of the appreciation from the artistic circles.
