Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are adopting inclusion riders for projects made through their Pearl Street Films, according to head of strategic outreach at the production company, Fanshen Cox DiGiovanni.
"On behalf of Pearl Street Films, Matt Damon, @BenAffleck, Jennifer Todd, Drew Vinton & I will be adopting the #InclusionRider for all of our projects moving forward," Cox DiGiovanni tweeted Monday, responding to Michael B. Jordan's tweet from last week in which he announced that his production company, Outlier Society, would also begin adopting inclusion riders.
An inclusion rider is a reference to the belief by some that there should be requirements in contracts that provide for gender and racial diversity.
While Stacy Smith, director of USC Annenbergs Media, Diversity & Social Change Initiative, first introduced the idea of the inclusion rider in a 2014 guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, Frances McDormand brought the idea into the spotlight recently during her best actress Oscar acceptance speech at the 90th annual Academy Awards. According to Smith, the rider focuses on improving diversity in select below-the-line jobs (cinematographer, production designer, sound, 1st and 2nd AD, editor, visual effects and composer) and supporting roles that do not affect story sovereignty or interfere with financing or insurance.
A request for comment from Affleck and Damon was not immediately returned.

Nov 20, 2013 - Many cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have reported deleterious effects of television (TV) viewing on the cognitive abilities, attention, behaviors, and academic performance of children (Johnson et al. 2002, 2007; Christakis et al. 2004). Longer TV viewing was associated with lower intelligence

But did you know that TV can actually be harmful to you? Television viewing can, for example, increase your risk of premature death, reduce your level of intelligence, completely obliterate your ability to concentrate, physically impair the growing child brain, and increase your risk of developing neurodegenerative brain ...

It would be kind of fun if people DONT fall in line and actors who dont include these SJW riders get more work. Heh heh. Why wouldnt you want the best people for your crew? Why do you care whether they have a penis, a vagina, dark skin, light skin?
How about sticking to the writer’s original characters instead of making Little Orphan Annie and Dorothy Gale black. Imagine the outcry if we made the cast of Oprah’s The Color Purple all white.
That’s just the way Democrats like it: white rich liberals in the top positions and minorities being “the help.”
Emma Watson put a warning label on herself. She can't spell - "Times Up"
What pathetic virtue signalling...”oh I’m so great! I support the right for unqualified people to take positions over those that deserve it!!”.
They’re basically saying “don’t hire white males”. They’re OK with discrimination....knowing it won’t hurt them. Pathetic.
So the chances are they will have to hire 2 unqualified people to do the job badly, as opposed to the previous white guy who knew what was going on.

Nothing like affirmative action to make your product suck.
LOL. She should have paid more attention in grammar. Or is she the one who dropped out of school in 7th grade to pursue a career of putting out to become a star?
You just, but they made the gods in Thor multi-racial.
There are black Klingons now on Star Trek.
There were complaints about the lack of diversity in DUNKIRK! Rewrite history to add black soldiers? Sure. Facts don’t matter to leftists.
I’ll celebrate by watching a few episodes of Amos and Andy on Youtube.
Notice how many blacks there are in commercials these days? And in ad world, every black family lives in an upscale neighborhood and drives a Lexus or a Subaru.
inclusion riders
They dress it up anyway they want, it is pure and simple discrimination.
We hear people say things like,
I hate these hateful people.
Im sure that nothings sure.
Im absolutely confident there are no absolutes,
and I cant tolerate your intolerance.
Its self-refuting at every turn. The reason we see this is because we started teaching this type of nihilism and intellectual relativism and intellectual mush some three, four, five decades ago.
