I find it a little hard to get behind any of your arguments when your definitions of "fair" mean only African-Americans and Caucasians get nominated. This shouldn't be a discussion about black and white, and it's become just that. There are a number of other skin colors that don't appear on this list and, frankly, have an even smaller nomination track record. White people may dominate the history of the Academy Awards (and most things), but black people are hardly ignored. Just adding my two cents.

It's become just that?

She really is pure class
After picking up the trophy for best actress in a TV drama, “How to Get Away With Murder” star Viola Davis was asked about Hollywood’s diversity problem backstage at the SAG Awards.
“We’ve become a society of trending topics,” she said. “Diversity is not a trending topic, it’s just not.”
The Emmy-winning actress, having first received her SAG card in 1988, said she’s never put limitations on her acting abilities as a woman of color.
“I can play any character in Chekhov and Shakespeare and Miller,” she beamed proudly, adding, “All of the actors of color I know don’t place any limitations on themselves either so regardless what is going on with the Academy, what is going on with Hollywood, they will find a way to be excellent. We always have and we always will.”

I love her attitude and her talent. And she's right about all of the above.
