Interesting article before this year's Tonys about how the Tonys are also pretty white-dominated generally and this year's an anomaly:

The Tonys being only 0.45% more diverse.
In a sense, the Oscars are more diverse than the Tonys – they have a more even spread between the minority groups. While they nominate about half as many black artists, they also nominate more than three times as many Latinos and Asians.

Hmm, so within minorities, the Tonys are kinder to black artists, while the Oscars are kinder to Latino/Asian artists.
