assuming that's correct... they should know that's to be mostly expected (i.e. white will be nominated the most and win the most) given white people tend to make up a large portion of more major movies in general. it's like if the reverse were true in that blacks dominated movies and us whites were in the minority then it's naturally expected whites won't win anywhere near as many awards in general or even be nominated for that matter.
so that's why i see all of that recent #OscarsSoWhite BS just forcing the academy to put them in the mix regardless if they deserve it or not. if i was in their spot i would rather have the nomination(or win) be legit (makes it worth more this way(but i guess they say those who get awards seem to get more on the radar with their career and in this sense they probably don't care of the win is legit simply because it benefits their career)) then a forced one because you pretty much told them to give you more nominations/awards. hell, even if the wins were legit, many will assume it's politics given all of the recent stuff i was mentioning.
Technically it was not for more awards but more nominations. No one was complaining because people of color weren't winning they were complaining because they weren't even being nominated with all the categories completely white.
