I don't think the Academy is overtly racist, but why have 97% of your membership be white males? I mean yeah it's fairly obvious to slant things a certain way, if the academy was 97% black women, probably the films getting nominated would be a little different.
There's nothing wrong with evening out the memebership to be more reflective of the actual movie going audience.
The Academy rules should change in general IMO, first off, movie screeners should be out. You go to watch all the nominated movies at the theater or you can't be a member. In many of these cases we don't even know if the Academy members even watch all the films (they probably don't).
