Nice use of the troll tag! (But no really, I'm not sure about the framing on this post...)

Is this saying more about the film industry or Spike Lee? I don't really care for the guy, but Do the Right Thing was important in the way I understood the world when I was young.

And Hispanics, Chinese, Indians, French, Austrian, Muslims, Buddists, Gays/Lesbian/Bi/Transgendered, etc, etc?

Perhaps his list represents Hollywood's biases more than his own.
