This information is actually incorrect, white and latino/hispanic are not mutually exclusive terms (ie. Marco Rubio, Selena Gomez, Louis CK, Cameron Diaz, Martin Sheen). The actual US percentage of whites is 72.41%.
I'm not sure why people are using US demographics anyways. The oscars honour Hollywood, which is historically tied to the British film industry, and often uses British directors, locations and crews, and also British source material. Most big 'British' movies are funded by American studios. Canada, Australia, and NZ are pretty interconnected too, and foreign language films are eligible and often get nominations.
