Cadillac apologizes for casting call seeking actors for an ‘alt-right (neo-Nazi)’ role
WAPO ^ | The Washington Post | Cleve R. Wootson Jr.

General Motors was under fire this weekend after a casting call for Cadillac sought members of the controversial alt-right movement.

According to an image of the casting call posted by the news agency Reuters and many, many others, the notice said an agency filming the ad was looking for "any and all real alt-right thinkers/believers."

"This is a beautifully artistic spot that is capturing all walks of life of America," the casting call says, adding that it would be filmed later this month. "Standing together as a union. This is not meant to be offensive in anyway. Just a representation of all sides. Thank you."

The alt-right, or alternative right, is an extremist movement that seeks a whites-only state.

Run by who? Where is it heaquartered? When do they meet?

Or is it all a strawman so they can repress dissenting voices? They had the whole "fake news" and "alt right" memes ready to go for President Hillary so she could justify crushing the first amendment.

Cadillac, and especially GM, need to apologize to the American People for sponsoring the celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. We should avoid purchasing GM products until they do so.

Oh, and they might have some realistic views on the accomplishments of different races over the millennia. Some people were sailing the world while others hadn't invented a written language, had no math, hadn't thought up the wheel etc.

Correction: GM (and govt) is grateful for having been saved, but the government TAXPAYERS lost about $10 billion on the deal.

Not to mention the stock/share-holders getting screwed over, the lack of authority for such a bail-out, etc.

From the article.

The Cast Station, a TV and film commercial casting company that seeks actors in several major cities.
