ha! i was watching WAtW doc too alongside my niece of 24 walking her through the times and the artisits and the explosion of this song and then was HORRIFIED to see the Black categories at AMAs and not remember that was a thing. Makes more sense i missed it if it was a one year mistake, but wow, what a poor poor solution to the bias that still pervades awards shows whether re race/genre attribution or arbitrary gender-based categories
