The Acadamy Awards sometimes do things with more "pop-mindedness" than what's generally assumed, though it is minor. Besides, a lot of people in this world, no matter what country, gets bothered by subtitles. That's quite a shame. But to immediately assume "xenophobic" is coming from an anger-mindset. Did it ever occur to the people who whip these words out like pistols are sometimes the first to do the offending? It's an immediate assumption people make to bring a villain in their lives to justify their anger mindset. The Academy Awards do whatever makes them money.
1. America, like every other country, loves things from its own country. Common factor. Not racist.
2. Big name ceremonies will do whatever grabs the most money, usually capitalizing on the country-based aesthetic all countries have. Not racist.
3. English is the most-spoken language on Earth, and the dominant language of two continents. Not racist.
4. Subtitles are known to distract people. Not racist.
5. Immediately throwing hateful words like "xenophobic." Not the Academy Awards, and a bit rude. Not everything has to be turned into "sticks and stones don't break your bones but words will massacre your body" to fit an agenda. If people are worried about morality, they'll realize "words eill never hurt me" shouldn't be so easily forgotten, and those that do forget sometimes look for offense.
