Have the Hugos become *too* diverse?

What of the poor oppressed white male SF authors?

Isn't it fascinating how, when the ballot is entirely white men, those just happen to randomly be the best works of fiction written that year, but when the ballot doesn't contain any white men, we should expect the racial and gender makeup of the ballot to exactly match the SF-reading population as a whole?

It's almost like the nature of statistics magically changes based on whether or not it justifies giving awards to white guys.

...in the world according to the sad rabids

More to the point, when the ballot doesn't contain any white men* it's all the result of a leftist plot to hand those underserving feminists and those not-white men awards they'd otherwise never earn because of not being proper manly white manly men who win manly awards on their own manly merits.




*where "any" in this case closely approximates any quantity of white men totalling less than 100% of the ballot.
