For many of us, the Roman Polanski win and court case is somewhat before our time.
For Weinstein- I had never heard of him prior to the scandal becoming a major news story. Obviously he was a powerful figure in the industry, but I would not have thought him a household name. His solitary Oscar win was when I was still in school. I was not aware that he had even won one and had to look it up. I also suspect that, while his story was in the headlines, many were rather more focussed in seeing him tried and imprisoned than concerning themselves with his historic Oscar win.
Will Smith, on the other hand, I was able to see go up on stage to assault someone, then return to the stage shortly thereafter to collect an award.
I don’t think there is a single person saying that Smith’s actions are in any way comparable to those of Weinstein or Polanski, and most would be glad to see them lose their awards.
Yes I’m sure racism is driving some of the response to the Smith incident, but I think your position here is very simplistic (and I’m someone who usually agrees your posts on other threads, particularly concerning matters on race and intersectionality).
It is understandable that people react more instantaneously to current events than they do to historic ones, of which they might have no or limited awareness.
