Yeah but the point is most people watching the show wouldn't know that. They'll only see that, not go read the back story, and take it at face value.
The issue is a sore point for minorities in this country and we don't need another wedge dividing us, we need people who can unite us. All the work other presenters/speakers (i.e., John Legend, Common) did during the night to spread the message of togetherness, etc, was undone by that last comment.

What did Penn say?
To the Mexican director: "Who gave this son of a bitch his green card?"
Here's an article about it:

The one who directed Birdman?
At the end of the day the Oscars is an industry awards show. It's not that surprising that industry inside jokes are present.

LOL. So what? You realize they worked together on 21 Grams, right?
Honestly, you're a nice guy and all but what the hell do you care when one friend jokes with another? Are you that dense that you didn't even know it was a joke? I feel sometimes like you want to just live inside a Disney movie.
Yeah also shouldn't be surprising that movies about movies won over and over again (The Artist, Argo, Birdman).

Ricky Gervais crushed the Golden Globes a couple years ago imo. Just ruthless.
