it's not just "nit picking" it's a massive and important how you choose to address inequality. I don't think it's the race of the authors that matter, I think it's the quality of the writing, and that quality comes from time spent writing and reading, which in turn comes from socioeconomics. Only looking at race will create a situation where rich minorities and white writers dominate the field, and poor minorities and white writers are left out; which is no better, maybe even worse. We should address opportunity, education, and economics rather than outcome. Just giving loads of deals to minority writers today is not going to fix any issue. It's an artificial solution. Nothing in real life has changed, nothing is actually helping the poor writer, the poor person, and their communities.
