Background: Joseph Guilherme Raposo, OIH (February 8, 1937 - February 5, 1989) was a Portuguese-American composer, songwriter, pianist, television writer and lyricist, best known for his work on the children's television series Sesame Street, for which he wrote the theme song, as well as classic songs such as "Bein' Green" and "C Is For Cookie". He also wrote music for television shows such as The Electric Company, Shining Time Station and the sitcoms Three's Company and The Ropers, including their theme songs. In addition to these works, Raposo also composed extensively for the DePatie-Freleng Enterprises such as Halloween Is Grinch Night, Pontoffel Pock, Where Are You? and The Grinch Grinches the Cat in the Hat.
Context: Raposo is best known for the songs he wrote for Sesame Street from its beginning in 1969 through the mid-1970s, and also for a time in the 1980s. He wrote the "Sesame Street Theme" - various versions of which have opened every episode - as well as many of its most popular songs, such as "Bein' Green", "C is for Cookie", "Sing" and "ABC-DEF-GHI". A version of "Sing" recorded by The Carpenters in 1973 reached #3 on the Billboard top singles chart. For many years, most of the music used in Sesame Street's film segments was also written -- and often sung -- by Raposo. Aside from his musical contributions, Raposo performed several uncredited stock characters on Sesame Street during the early 1970s. According to his son Nicholas in a 2002 telephone conversation, Joe Raposo usually chose to portray anonymous, silly characters in these segments, which were nearly always produced on 16 mm film. He also did voice-overs for a few animated segments. The Sesame Street character Don Music maintained a framed and autographed glamour photograph of Raposo on the wall of his Muppet atelier. Raposo was very fond of sweets according to many who knew him. One favorite food of his was cookies. It has been rumored the Wheel-Eating Monster created for commercial advertisers in the 1960s by Jim Henson may have been altered by Henson specifically into a "cookie" monster after Henson observed Raposo's unusual propensity for cookies; this has never been substantiated. Raposo was actually the first puppeteer to operate Cookie Monster on television for Sesame Street. His widow Pat Collins-Sarnoff celebrated his life with a milk and cookies reception. One of Raposo's Sesame Street compositions, "The Square Song", was used in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Question: Did Joe win any awards for these songs?
Answer: A version of "Sing" recorded by The Carpenters in 1973 reached #3 on the Billboard top singles chart.

Background: Kutcher was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Diane (nee Finnegan), a Procter & Gamble employee, and Larry M. Kutcher, a factory worker. His father is of Czech descent, while his mother is of Czech, German, and Irish ancestry. Kutcher was raised in a "relatively conservative" Catholic family. He has an older sister named Tausha and a fraternal twin brother named Michael, who had a heart transplant when the brothers were young children.
Context: Ashton Kutcher received widespread criticism for his appearance in a Popchips ad campaign in May 2012. The campaign featured Kutcher as an Indian man "looking for love" in a dating ad-style spoof. Kutcher's use of brown face paint and a stereotypical Indian accent was deemed racially insensitive and offensive and received backlash from online viewers and members of the Indian-American community. Emmy-award winning comedian Aziz Ansari featured the commercial in his 2015 Netflix comedy-drama Master of None, to make a point that South Asian discrimination is taken less seriously than Black discrimination although they are both forms of racism. "Asians and Indians are the new clownable minority," comedian Hasan Minhaj, now a correspondent on The Daily Show, lamented in a YouTube response to Popchips. "You have a s--ty accent and you're not even being racist correctly. If you're gonna be racist, come correct with your racism." Ravi Patel gave his argument in a 2015 interview, "I don't find stereotypical roles to always be offensive. I think stereotypes are there for a reason and are a very big part of comedy. It's interesting, [Aziz's] issue is specifically with Indian stereotypes, but you don't see him walking away from other [racial] stereotypes," Patel said. "You need to look at it on a case-by-case basis. Like in Transformers, Michael Bay wanted me to wear a turban. I was like 'Why do you want me to wear a turban?' And he said, 'Because it's funny,' and I said 'Well, that's not a good enough reason to wear a turban.' I've stood up for stuff that's offensive every time."
Question: what time in his career did this occur?
Answer:
