It's not "incorrect", just a different definition. I was using the definition of non-latino caucasian. Which is I believe the exact racial definition of Oscar-nominated actors and actresses in question.
As for the "who should have been" etc, as I've said I don't much care, because I don't much care about the Oscars.
I just think that when judging people's reactions, the fact that it's happened twice in a row and the fact that last year the reaction was much less noticeable are both things that should be taken into account in the discussion.
I'm pretty sure there have been non-white actors and actresses that deserved to be nominated, but I'm not going to comment on whether they deserved to get nominated
more than the ones that did. I rarely watch movies that get Oscar nominations anyway. For example I don't generally watch biopics, as they tend to be less interesting than the people they're depicting, and you can never trust the facts in those things.
