The Jacob snub was definitely racist. I think people just want to acknowledge that Sam is a good actor. I don't think Jacob would want people calling Sam undeserving or a bad actor to prop up himself

I can only speak to what I said, which I felt was very clear: Sam is undeserving because he has the least screentime, outside of ep 7 and 8 and his presence is placation to the very people who whined about Lestat's reduced plot importance. Let us think, if Sam were a person of color would he be getting this nomination? Would the people crusading for him over these awards stand down just as hard? if the answer to these questions anything but an immediate "yes" then you have to acknowledge that this isnt about ability, but something handed to him because the only thing he has over his peers is the color of his skin.

#i literally dont know how to be any clearer. and like i said if he is someone who would be offended by this then he isnt someone i respect #but i dont believe that atm so i said what I said #char.txt #answered #interview with the vampire #i hate that every statement has to be prefaced with supplication. because fuck man this isnt even really about sam #he just happens to be the white man of the moment but this isnt the first or the last time this will happen #you dont need me to tell you if hes a good actor or not. Ive already told you what i think #because its not actually about whos better than who its about Race. this is a fucking joke
