The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors has just TWO non-whites among its 51 elected members

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does not just have a lack of diversity among its nominees for the Oscars this year, but also its Board of Governors

There are 51 members of this ruling board of the Academy, and of them only two are non-white - president Cheryl Boone Isaacs and Daryn Okada who is the head of the cinematographers branch.
