Chris Rock's monologue was hilarious and spot on, but I liked Shonda Rimes's circulating tweet the best:

"Know why I hate 'why is diversity so important' question? It implies the matter should be UP FOR DEBATE. As if LACK of diversity could be valid."

This doesn't absolve us from ignoring the question, but instead of seeing diverse casts as special and ask why, why not start asking all-white casted films why the hell is this movie so whitewashed?
