Surely the votes should reflect the quality of the artist and their music, even if there happens not to be enough BAME or female artists amongst the winners?
I wonder if they will be doing likewise for the next MOBO Awards, all in the name of diversity you understand?

//Voters from BAME backgrounds will make up 17% of the panel, up from 15% last year.The gender balance has also been reviewed, after a review discovered that 70% of the voting academy was male.
Next year's winners will be chosen by a panel that is 52% male and 48% female.//
Re MOBO, I don't know, maybe they will - have you checked their press office?

What the hell does it matter what their skin colour or gander is?
We are constantly told we are just one big melting pot and the same colour blood runs through all our veins.
So why this constant seeking for diversity, surely that is only seeking for and highlighting the differences between us?

It's called evolution to a more culturally diverse voting system to reflect our culturally diverse society.
It's a good thing and to be welcomed and nothing to be afraid about.
@op, did you watch the last Brit Awards? Were you happy that Justin Bieber won the International Male Solo Artist Award or do you think it should have gone to someone else?

I'm talking about the BBC headline.
//Ged Doherty, chairman of the Brits, said the changes meant the awards were now "better equipped to reflect the diverse nature of Britain and British music".//
So they didnt do it to promote diversity they did to to balance. Using a headline 'to promote diversity' just gets peoples backs up, and it is not true.

Haven't watched the Brits for 30 years .
I'm not sure awards ceremonies generally ever reflect genuine quality do they? Undoubtedly they do when something generally considered as outstanding comes along, but then in a sense such rarities are above awards.
It's a beanfest for the producers and record industry bods. Not saying there's anything wrong with that as long as we recognise it as such.
