"Hollywood awarded an Oscar to a white actor in yellowface as late as 1983."

What is this referring to? Gandhi? He was Indian, which isn't 'East Asian'.

Oops! The Oscar referred to was Linda Hunt's Best Supporting Actress award for "A Year Of Living Dangerously", and that was awarded in 1984. I've edited the article.
