Danny DeVito gave a pretty blunt take on the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, saying at Sundance yesterday, “The entire country is a racist country.”

DeVito lamented how “even though some people have given great performances in movies,” they were overlooked, possibly on the basis of race.

“We are living in a country,” he said, “that discriminates and has certain… racist tendencies. So sometimes it manifests in things like this and it’s illuminated. But just generally speaking, we’re a bunch of racists.”

DeVito was at Sundance for his new film Wiener-Dog. One of his co-stars, Julie Delpy, got lots of attention on Friday for saying Hollywood is worse for women than for African-Americans.

1. Is he the first white person to just tell it as it is ?

2. Makes this obvious statement, you can tell with his facial expression that he

isnt saying something unusual or controversial.

Yeah, he says, duh, we are racists.

He says ALL, right? or "we are a bunch of racists"

what he means is ALL white people are to one extent or another racist, and the reason that makes sense, the reason I have said it for YEARS, is it is true.

But we cant possibly resolve this until we do what alcoholics have to do before they can get sober, admit there is a problem
