I agree with most of what you're saying, although the argument of "handing out nominations on the basis of diversity" misconstrues the whole point. The statistics are well worth taking a look at, because they show an obvious systemic issue. For example, African-Americans make up 12.3% of the U.S. population, but they are woefully and disproportionately misrepresented in most screenplays. It's as if blacks, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, etc. are only relevant when the topic is narrowed down to necessity (from themes of alienation to simply typecasting a drug dealer, terrorist, etc.), rather than casting and including characters casually, as should be. I don't know about you, but every school I attended was diverse, so misrepresentation in film is a genuine problem.

And this only covers acting, and not directing, editing, cinematography, etc. which would lead us to a deeper topic such as socioeconomic upbringings that would lead a black person or Hispanic to lead a life in technical filmmaking.

This topic is obviously complicated, but the video outlines the pure stats, and to disregard the facts with the argument of "well we can't just force awards to people because they're diverse" I find is incredibly narrow-minded and dismissive. There's much more to it than that, as with all things in the world, because the world is complex.
