Hollywood's identity crisis: Actors, writers and producers warn of 'reverse racism' in the film industry which has created a 'toxic' climate for anyone who is a white, middle-age man
Daily Mail ^ | July 11, 2020 | Caroline Graham

A revolution is under way. White actors are being fired. Edicts from studio bosses make it clear that only minorities – racial and sexual – can be given jobs.

A new wave of what has been termed by some as anti-white prejudice is causing writers, directors and producers to fear they will never work again. One described the current atmosphere as 'more toxic than Chernobyl', with leading actors afraid to speak out amid concern they will be labelled racist.

[snip]

speaking on condition of anonymity, the executive confirmed that the climate is now toxic for any 'white, middle-aged man in showbusiness'. Their careers, 'are pretty much over'.

They continued: 'We're only hiring people of colour, women or LGBT to write, star, produce, operate the cameras, work in craft services. If you are white, you can't speak out because you will instantly be branded 'racist' or condemned for 'white privilege'.

'The pendulum has swung so far, everyone is paralysed with fear by the idea anything you say could be misinterpreted and your career ended instantly. There are a lot of hushed conversations going on, but publicly everyone is desperate to be seen to be promoting diversity and too terrified to speak out. It's imploding: a total meltdown.'

There is no such thing as “reverse racism”. Racism is racism, it doesn’t matter what color the parties to the injustice are.

So Hollywood has something in common with the rest of America... I’m shocked!

First they came for the conservatives and no one cared, now the liberal whitey actors and I don’t care. Hollyweird gets weirder.

White actors shut out of roles?

The solution is obvious.

Hollywood has been dumping on white males in movies, TV shows, and commercials for several decades now. How is this going to be that much different?

Hollyweird was circling the bowl before, now it’s heading down the sewer pipe. So sad...

I seem to have misplaced my tiny box of Kleenex.
