If you constructed an Academy that was 81% Black folk who had grown up in a majority Black country like Nigeria*, and 67% men, with an average age of ~60, and ask them to pick Oscar winners, you'd have a similar problem, but in a different direction.🙂🙃
(*Being Black in a majority Black country like Nigeria, is very different than being Black in the US. A Black person in the US, has much better cultural understanding of majority US culture).
