It won because out of the ten movies, it was the best one in most voters' opinions. It didn't win because it had a diverse cast. That's why you were called out.
Don't get me wrong, I understand what you are saying because in your view it wasn't the best movie but it's no different than saying - She only got the job because she's black and a woman. Which probably does happen. But then no one says anything when the white man gets the job when he is a clearly inferior candidate or when some presidents hire their ditsy inexperienced daughters to be CEO when they probably can't work the cash register.
At the Academy awards, Jamie Lee Curtis a white woman beat Angela Bassett a black woman out for the Academy Award for best Supporting Actress. So that flies in the face of the diversity choice.
