It is probably why they have a lot of Best Picture nominees which are about gay/lesbians and various other minorities. Titanic had the steerage partiers. Not sure about Saving Private Ryan? You could probably blow anyone up on Omaha Beach and not see their ethnicity.

These Academy rules are probably rather recent though.
