You only hammered home my point with your response. Every one of the awards you mentioned do not restrict nominees to racial or ethnic categories. Did you somehow miss this distinction?
No I miss your point. There are millions of awards and almost all of them restrict nominees in some form or another. Some are only for women, some are only for men, blacks, Indians, little kids, college students, Jews, whatever.
Your only point was denigrate the accomplishments of a dead man who was murdered.
