So, he's implying that they should nominate people not by their merit, but based on ethnic/cultural diversity?

Or the did I read it wrong?

I wonder the same thing. I can't tell if it is being implied that the "committee" is racist, or if they should be picking people based on things OTHER than their acting skill.

I assumed the first thing, but seeing as how the committee has over 6000 members it seems hard to call them ALL racist.

I'm seriously considering it's a mix of both.
