Ok, so this is my first post on DU [View all]

Please be gentle.

I was almost universally ridiculed for suggesting that Will Smith's 10-year suspension from Oscars ceremonies was more severe than a white actor of his stature would have received for the same act (and I'm not condoning the act in any way). I just feel like he was punished more severely than, say, Leonardo DiCaprio would have been. I know I'm not the only one in REAL LIFE who feels this way, but I guess the internet is different?

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
