Actress and Fox News personality Stacey Dash says she wants to bring a different kind of diversity to Hollywood — and that’s why she participated in one of the oddest Oscar moments.
The former “Clueless” actress has attracted attention lately for her conservative viewpoints, including suggesting on Fox that there should not be a Black History Month. Dash, who is black, also spoke out against people complaining that the Oscars didn’t reflect diversity.

Stacey Dash Explains Her Oscars Appearance
By Maeve McDermott. The Clueless star, who’s sparked controversy by speaking out against #OscarsSoWhite and Black History Month, was summoned by the evening’s host Chris Rock, walking on stage and wishing the audience a happy Black History Month before immediately leaving . . .
[She] Explained why she’s “spoken out about a LOT of stuff that black people try to stuff down my throat.”
For example, I spoke out against Black History Month. (Why should there be such a thing? Haven’t we had more than just one month’s worth of accomplishments? Hear my thoughts HERE.) Plus, I spoke out against the #OscarsSoWhite controversy HERE. My take? We need to stop complaining about white people oppressing us, we shouldn’t boycott the Oscars, and we need to support Chris Rock the host.
And then told us why she was invited onstage (well, kinda).
Which brings me to the joke. When they added ME to increase the diversity, I’m sure many black people rolled their eyes. I’m not “black enough,” they say. But guess what? I’ve heard that all my life. I would rather be a free thinking, black than a cookie cutter black who thinks – and votes – just like all my friends.
