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.'

To a certain extent, Hollyweird has been the face America presents to the rest of the world. All that insincere virtue signaling on simplistic narratives that don’t actually affect the oligarchs or more importantly Chinese bottom lines? Uh huh, that’s the gun they have pointed at the powerless to avoid calling out the powerful using slave labor to produce fashion, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, while simultaneously enabling developing world land grabs by endlessly advocating open borders. But hey, I guess they might instead have been thinking that someone has to clean, cook, and tend the gardens and children in their neighborhoods. Who can say?

Do these guys regret endlessly ridiculing and stereotyping the residents of flyover country?

Do they regret the image of America and Americans they have projected to the world?

Do they actually want to be part of all of that still?

Could they take their knowledge and experience and create something elevating as only art can be and propaganda cannot be?

Can they see the difference?

Not sad.

“Seeing early proof of this in commercials. Lots of mixed race couples, homosexuals, etc.”

That’s pretty much all one sees in commercials now. On the rare occasions I watch TV it has become quite apparent.

In almost all TV shows now, masculine white males are the villains.

You knew it was bound to happen sooner or later.....the Leftists are eating their own. This is how revolutions fail.

I derive a great deal of satisfaction watching those White leftists who engaged in this neo puritan censorship and cancel culture finally get their turn in the barrel.
