(CNN) Don't kid yourself about Sunday night's Academy Awards. The Oscars still don't get it.

With all the talk of #OscarsSoWhite, and the lack of diversity in the major acting categories -- not a single African-American was nominated -- the Oscars ceremony still showed a shocking cluelessness about what today's America looks like.

Sure, Chris Rock gave an entertaining opening monologue knocking the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and its overwhelmingly white membership, and yes, there was a preponderance of African-American presenters and talent onstage this year -- everyone from Chadwick Boseman to Quincy Jones and Whoopi Goldberg making an appearance.

But here's the thing. I kept a running tally of the "ethnic" (i.e., non-Caucasian) non-winners who showed up last night as either presenters or performers, and the results were rather eye-opening. It seems the Academy pretty much blew off the Hispanic and Asian-American segment of America's cultural rainbow.
