Why does Mariah Carey get music awards for African-Americans when her mother was Irish American and her father was of Afro-Venezuelan and Afro-American descent?

Her father was only 1/4 (Afro) Venezuelan and mostly African American and identified as such. And the Black award don't exclusively award African Americans and exclude non African American Blacks. They award black people regardless of background.
