Academy Awards voting members don't give a fukk about diversity despite what the organization says

How we came up with our Diverse 100 list, and why Tina Fey and other white people are on it

Our Diverse 100 also was created with academy members and industry executives in mind. As we covered the dust-up from the nominees and the academy’s response, my colleagues Rebecca Keegan and Josh Rottenberg interviewed countless academy members who anonymously verbalized one of two perspectives: Adding people of color and women to the academy would automatically reduce the quality of films recognized; or there weren’t enough people of diverse background who would meet the varying branches’ steep requirements anyway.

They're literally saying that only white men can appreciate good film

Breh did you read the article? Or the article the commentary is in reference to? This is the LA times putting together 100 people in Hollywood whom they feel could make a difference and help hollywoods diversity issue. The commentary was in reference to why Tina fey is on their list but this is just the times. It's not the academy. This is just the times' suggestion.

the more things change, the more they stay the same
no one willfully gives power away - power will remain white, just like everything else of significance !!!

I read the article man. Both of them. I'm not worrying about what various members of the academy said because one there are still members who vehemently disagree and the few don't speak for the whole and two fukk them lol. The situation is what it is and they'll either get with it or lose their voting rights. They've lost that battle already. They can bytch and moan all day but they've been overruled. So get with it or get lost.
