Dave, no one will answer your questions because no one has taken those positions. Its like you're not reading the content of anyone else's posts and just sticking to an ill informed conversation you've been having with yourself. Either you are completely a troll or you lack serious comprehension skills.
No one is saying they're upset their "favourite" race isn't nominated, you ponce. You place so much faith in institutions like the academy to always pick the best whatever. Why? They're just a group of humans who are as capable of conscious or unconscious racial bias as anyone. In this case, the group is staggeringly made up of old white men, perhaps many of them whom have very little to do with the film industry anymore. Its an old classist Hollywood Boy's Club who's voting greatly impacts people's careers and the industry at large. People would like the membership of this exclusive group to become more diverse. That's what is happening here. People made a stink because of how they see the film industry going in terms of diversity and now the academy is attempting to address that in a tactful and smart way. That's it. Why do you insist having this bs argument with yourself over race (almost exclusively in Les Miserables...jeezus, Nunn and Caird directed it to be so theatrical and presentational. Its hardly realism. Who gives a **** if Fantine's black). Basically, read a book and stop trying to Britsplain race to Americans.
