They already dealt with it. They already solved it. They've taken proactive measures to inject color into the Academy's 94% white male membership. They violated the integrity of the "buddy nomination" system which has stood in place since the founding of this awards ceremony, but oh well, I guess you don't have to build it to own it. Still, the disproportionate racial makeup hasn't changed at all since I was a boy, so I understand why they're trying to expedite the integration of nonwhite and female members. If won't change quickly without an artificial influence. People tend to identify with their own, white or black, but due to the nature of the world in the 1920's, the initial make-up is almost exclusively white.
So now we get to see if the nonwhites can prove to be as fair and without bigotry as the 94% of white men who have awarded the Oscars to almost perfectly reflect the greater ethnic make-up. I'm aware of the sports analogy. It isn't my favorite since the difference is that winning and losing in basketball is an objective competition, and not judged (only referee'd). Still, it brutally counters those who would assert that success within any particular pursuit must perfectly reflect the ethnic make-up of the greater population.
It is just freaking hilarious that Spike Lee & other blacks have spearheaded a movement which would rightfully benefit those of Asian/Latino descent.
