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.'

who cares? movies shown in theaters are probably dead anyway ... not to mention, hollywood productions are already complete excrement anyway, but if they completely abandon the notion of hiring based on putative talent and instead hire exclusively based on pigmentation, then the current execrable situation is quickly going to look like the golden age of flicks ... who woulda thunk that the hollywood propaganda machine would end up being eaten by its own creations?

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

indeed ... i’ve wondered though if this is an effective way to sell their products ... or is super-expensive virtue-signalling that doesn’t sell product worth it?

Who will win? THe great utopia of gay acting was betting the feminine was going to allow black gays and white gays to be in solidarity with each other...

matriarchal societies which are not based in the masculine rather color blind aspect of work but of politics are notoriously tribal and racist.

I bet you ask these idiots if we should keep hate crime legislation up or gay marriage, and they still would blame Reagan for AIDS.

While psychopaths see their summer ruined after being arrested for murdering someone, having absolute no inkling in linking their behavior to consequences, these liberals and artists are truly scary close to this lack of consciousness.

Look I’m not sorry about saying this , but white people tend to be more intelligent and more interesting that’s just a fact

I’ve known plenty of intelligent bright and smart black Spanish Asian and other people .but come on dude ! look at all the actors and actresses ! they’re all white!

And I’m here to say loud and clear - who gives a crap?????

I just bought that DVD cheap a couple weeks ago, figured I likely should while it’s still out there. Got Blazing Saddles at the same time as well. Now just need to get the first few seasons of All In The Family and I should be set.

Hollywood award shows will be like the music awards shows where no talents are given awards.

The Chinese firms that will pay for them.


The Chinese are rapidly running out of money. The Trump tariffs are taking a toll.

Anti-white racism is rampant in our society. It is so bad it is enforced by criminal government all the way up to the federal government and justified by unconstitutional decisions by the Supreme Court.

There go a host of favorite shows. The Expanse, Star Trek: Picard and more are now socially unwatchable and will have to be recast.

Star Trek: Discovery was prescient and with only minor character changes can continue.

Reality shows like Bering Sea Gold, Gold Rush, and Deadliest Catch will have to be recast or closed out.

Well, if you pet a snake and the snake bites you, it’s not the snake’s fault.

Just so you all know, Blacks oppressing Whites IS NOT RACISM. Or so I was informed over a decade ago at an employee indoctrination session at an important hospital in SoCal. Blacks can be bigots, but not racists as they don’t HAVE THE POWER. Whites have the power, that’s why Whites are racists.

Not kidding. I had to pick my lower jaw up off the floor when I was indoctrinated with that statement.

“They’ve made movies unwatchable.”

So true; is it even a boycott if I haven’t seen any movies made since the last “Hobbit” movie? Even those had added characters for “diversity”...

As in the rest of the private sector, hiring based on pigmentation (or gender) alone is a waste of money and disastrous for the bottom line.
