In an effort to fight Racism and Sexism in Hollywood we will have to wholeheartedly engage in said practice.
So discriminatory hiring is okay if it is to push a quota agenda?
I guess the heyday of cinema has come to an end. I’ve seen some pretty cool indie films lately, though. Ink is a great one, and Frame, from the same film maker is also pretty cool.
Next we’ll see a WWII movie with Sam Jackson as Patton and Jackie Chan as Ike.
WOW, I’m impressed. This will get them moved up front and center at the awards show and probably a few slaps on the back, maybe a trophy.
I’m growing more and more amused as the Left draws attention to this “diversity” stuff, because I believe it’s hurting the cause more than helping.
By drawing attention to “diversity,” they’re admitting that they don’t pay attention to it. Most Americans are colorblind and base decisions such as hiring/firing on merit and acumen. By saying we need to be more “diverse” and “inclusive,” aren’t we advancing the idea that the status quo is tribal and exclusive?
So discrimination is ok except as to them?
How will women be treated under this “inclusion”? Abused? Harassed? Raped?
Throw a “diverse” bunch of liberals into a Hollyweird mix and there’s BOUND to be trouble
These two should have retired from the business after “Good Will Hunting”. And that movie was only tolerable thanks to Robin Williams.
I’ll bet Clint Eastwood won’t play this game. And that’s all it is, a game.
Speaking of INCLUSION, Ben Afflevk should have included his wife & children in his LIFE.
Two of the whitest boys in Follywood vow to bring non white boys into their White Kingdom.

Ah yes, pretend to be open minded and “diverse” . . .but certainly don’t like that “diversity” impact the bottom line
What a bunch of phonies
“We don’t want the best. We want the most different looking.”

So, if you’re a great white male editor or lighting guy, can you “come out” as gay or something to still get good gigs??? Or is your career pretty much done in the Industry?
WE NEED WARNING LABELS FOR HOLLYWOOD!!

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.
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.
