Watch us learn in an interview RDJ was on beta blockers and other anti-anxiety meds before his name was called. I don’t think he planned to ignore Ke he just knows Rockwell and the other presenters personally so there was instant eye contact and thanks when they congratulated him. RDJ whether he admits it or not was probably ticked off to start the night with Kimmel’s jokes about his past drug use and jail stints. I think his wife was squeezing his hand during it and he knew well ahead of time he was likely going to win but it just hits differently when you hear someone reading your name after opening an envelope. Lol and he is holding the Oscar like an umbrella indoors behind his back.😂😂

[@Alex.2562]

As an asian, I am very disappointed in RDJ. He should not have ignored KHQ like that. He won the Oscar last year. He deserves to hand out the award. Although I am a big fan of RDJ, there’s no doubt that he made a big mistake by not even looking at KHQ. As a famous actor and influencer, he should not ignore somebody for their skin color. All bloods are same. There is no race better than another. We got to stop discriminating because of difference. I hope this little message brings a huge change to our society.😢

[@lemontea1855]

咄嗟の行動や無意識の言動にこそ、その人間の本質が表れると思う。 この俳優にとってはアジア人など敬意を払う価値が無いんだろう。 アジア系への差別というのは、あからさまな暴力というよりは、まるでその場にいない人のように扱う事だと聞いたけど、まさにその瞬間を目撃した。
