Hollywood Cuts DEI Execs Following Affirmative Action Ruling

Last week the U.S. Supreme Court stuck down Affirmative Action in higher education when they reversed affirmative action after 62 years. The Supreme set new limits on affirmative action programs in cases involving whether public and private colleges and universities can continue to use race as one factor among many in student admissions. After decades of fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in films and television, both behind and in front of the camera, Hollywood is flipping the script.

In similar but unrelated news, four Diversity, Equity and Inclusion officers in Hollywood were fired the very next day

What a load. The SC ruling had nothing to do with this. These people pushing the woke BS have cost their companies millions

Lawyered up immediately.

Lawsuits claiming they were fired “because of the color of their skin” filed in 3..2...1...

Diversity, equity and inclusion leaders, who were hired in waves to help companies achieve an ethnically balanced workforce after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, are being phased out, surveys indicate, leaving experts in the field concerned that corporations’ talk of affecting change was just empty words.

DEI roles increased by 55% following demands for broader racial equity and justice after Floyd’s murder, the Society for Human Resource Management reported in 2020. But instead of creating fair opportunities and a comfortable work culture for Black employees, a pair of recent reports indicate, DEI professionals are losing their jobs, as layoffs across the economy have gained momentum.


This was from Feb. An interesting trend

Diversity and inclusion, via affirmative action, were the likely cause for so many film and tv roles going to blacks and Hispanics, where many of those roles were written for whites.

If a space alien were to look at the ‘diversity’ as indicated in films and tV roles and commercials, those aliens might conclude that, at least half of humans in America were blacks, while the reality is that, blacks compose about 13% of Americans.

I’m really enjoying the Verizon TV commercial with “Sophie”, a cute white chick. We’re so used to seeing POC in every ad, that when a Caucasian is on screen, it’s remarkable. It shouldn’t be remarkable.

We don’t need affirmative action anymore. The San Francisco morons are going to make anybody with black skin into a millionaire. They won’t need to go to college or get a job.

“ The SC ruling had nothing to do with this.”

The SC ruling means studios are free to fire them without fear of lawsuits.
