There are some whiny people calling Issa Rae racist for this statement. "I'm rooting for everybody black."
What are your opinions?

Not sure whether it's racist. It is a bit pathetic though.

They made a point of mentioning it was the most diverse list of nominees for the third year running. They probably were nominated for their skin colour.
