Culture Netflix Orange is the New Black Oscars Academy awards

Leave it to the ladies of Litchfield to provide a hilarious politically incorrect response to the #OscarsSoWhite diversity row in a new teaser for season four of Orange is the New Black.

Cleverly titled "For Your Incarceration"—a play on the awards season For Your Consideration campaigns laid on by film studios—Netflix's favorite inmates offer up their two cents on the Academy Awards in the 30-second clip.

Taystee, played by Danielle Brooks, even quips: "Even when white folks try to be excited, they're still boring."

Zeitgeist commentary aside, the teaser offers a brief glimpse of what's in store in the fourth season of the hit dramedy: an angry Sophia (Laverne Cox) still locked up in solitary; Gloria (Selenis Leyva) being manhandled by a guard; and the small matter of a S.W.A.T. team bursting into the prison. It's never a dull day in Litchfield.

Last month, Netflix announced it had given its flagship show an unprecedented three-season renewal, ensuring the show lives on through season seven.

"Three more years! Not quite a political term, but still plenty of time to do some interesting things," said show boss Jenji Kohan. "In some cultures, 'May you lead an interesting life,' is a curse, but I don't live in those cultures. Here's to keeping it interesting."

Orange is the New Black season four begins streaming on Netflix on June 17.
