Not enough black people! Not enough women!

An  injustice has occurred. As the nominees for the 87th Oscars were revealed this morning, besides people getting upset over supposed "snubs" and issuing complaints over who were nominated, other complaints had nothing to do with quality or skill, but of race and "gender" (in quotes because I use the term sex, not gender).

There's too white and there's not enough women, apparently. The horror. The injustice.

The cards of racism and sexism will be pulled out and played.

Wait, isn't Hollywood aka the movie industry one of the more open minded and tolerable places to work in in America, let alone the world, yet it somehow manages - in many SJW's eyes - to be "racist" and "sexist"? I guess they're going for perfection.

Since Birdman did not make it for Best Editing, and instead American Sniper did, a poster had a theory why -
Old white people.  Now this isn't necessarily a blank accusation -

Poster zombiedance is known to pull cards like these. He's basically the walking stereotype of non-white "pretty damn liberal" guy. In other words narrow-mined, naive and insanely retarded in the most functional way, if that makes any sense at all.

The issues I have with the study is that it takes account for the overall makeup of those within AMPAS acting voting branch, but no word of the makeup of those that actually cast their votes.
