When I read this kind of link, the period of time between when I start to think, 'Surely you're joking?' and when I stop thinking it is getting shorter and shorter. Soon, I learn will stop trying to think the best of my fellow white people, because we don't deserve that benefit of the doubt.

What part of 'slumdog' can anyone think is not an insult?

Who'd have thought that a major 'little battler', overcoming adversity role wouldn't get a best actor nomination? I guess Tom Hanks must truly be the actor the Academy thinks he is. How wrong I was in my cynicism!
