John Leguizamo Buys Full Page New York Times Ad Asking Emmy Voters to Choose ‘Non-White Artists’
Breitbart ^ | 06.10.2024 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 06/10/2024 10:38:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Actor John Leguizamo has taken out a full-page ad in the New York Times to urge industry insiders voting for Emmy Awards nominees to vote for “non-white artists” because there isn’t enough “inclusion” in the entertainment industry.

“America is better when it is inclusive,” the Spawn star wrote. “It is more profitable. It is more creative! Let’s not give up. I’m still woke! Are you?”

“Please let this be the year we finally embrace change,” Leguizamo’s ad began. “The year we truly find Equity, and see artists of color represented across not just one category, but ALL categories.”

“America is better when it is inclusive”

So "inclusive" = leave out the whites?

John Leguizamo is really getting desperate to keep his name in the news.

Outside of a forgettable role on a Netflix miniseries in 2018 that no one watched, a voice-only role in an animated Disney film few people saw, a tertiary role in a 2022 film that was shown in 3,000 theaters, and guest hosting on rotation for the ratings-poor The Daily Show, John Leguizamo hasn't had work in more than a decade.

Demonization is the first step before extermination.

The entertainment awards haven’t been about talent or ability for decades, (If they ever were)....

How are you “inclusive” if you are literally calling to EXCLUDE an entire part of our species?

Does he still get enough roles for this to be a good financial decision?

Kinda reminds of the black community being upset because there are very few blacks playing Major League baseball......that ain’t right but the fact black players absolutely dominate the NFL and NBA is no problem whatsoever in their minds.

Oh, there are plenty of blacks playing ML baseball, but they’re from the Caribbean and therefore don’t really count as blacks.

Yeah, there is a mania going around. Right now all the white liberals are falling all over themselves to promote "people of color", meaning "black", preferably female, or "trans" and preferably "gay."

I guess the social relevance in liberal circles is so bad they have to come up with a different fad every few years.

So many commercials now feature black people or to a lesser extent other minorities, that it has become absurd.

It has become laughable how white liberals have committed themselves to pushing black/"gay" people on television. I just change the channel.

Nobody has time for this nonsense.

Bet he thinks not being racist about this is, in itself, racist.

This is what is considered "critical thinking" on the Democrat/Communist Party Left.

I am about halfway through Mark Levin’s book American Marxism. Not an easy read but Levin clearly explains what has been going on in our country. Legiuzamo is just another example. If you get a chance read this book.

Too bad. I've enjoyed much of his acting over the years.

Hey John, go team up with De Niro. He's right there with you, as are so many of your misguided Hollywood associates.
