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?

 

Oh come on, you guys, pay attention. Black people acted in movies last year, believe it or not. He's saying, "instead of just picking all the white people, you can pick some minorities that acted well too". Seems clear enough. Not only white people are good actors.

You're saying that the academy deliberately made sure that no black actor were nominated?
