Fun fact: whites and black are over-represented at Oscars, Hispanics and Asians are the ones who are under-represented. But shhhhhhhhhh, let's keep on pretending that Oscars are ignoring black people.

You're overlooking the fact that part of the reason for people getting upset this year is because there were some very good movies with very good performances by black actors that were overlooked. It's not that the Oscars are ignoring black people, it's that they ignored black people after a year in which some black people had done some Oscar-worthy work.

Citation?

I've seen graphs analyzing the racial demographics of actors versus the racial demographics of the U.S. population, which do show that both blacks and whites are overrepresented as actors. But I haven't seen anything analyzing the demographics of Oscar nominees.

Found this graphic on Tumblr some weeks ago, no idea where it comes from.

AYRT

Thank you! So, looking at that graph, black actors are slightly underrepresented as Oscar nominees. However, once nominated, black actors are more likely to win an Oscar.
