The Academy Awards was attacked for having no performers of South Asian descent during the performance of the original song “Naatu Naatu” from the Indian film 'RRR.'
During an appearance on "America's Newsroom", Jimmy Failla shares some of his big takeaways from the 95th annual Academy Awards.is being called out for a lack of South Asian performers during the dance sequence for a song from an Indian movie.
"Some people say, ‘Just be happy with what we got,’ and that’s part of [the problem] — this idea of just accepting the scraps that are thrown to you," the founder of an L.A. dance company told Variety."Just be happy an Indian song was nominated [and won]. Don’t be mad about the overwhelming racism that appeared in the performance."
CBS News likewise quoted several members of the South Asian community who expressed disappointment in the performance. "A representative for AMPAS, when asked about the background of the performance’s dancers, told IndieWire it ‘was incorrect’ that there were few, if any South Asian artists in the performance, though they did not immediately provide further information when asked for clarification," Khosla wrote.
