Oh, the irony!

The leftist mob preys on weakness
Matt Damon got slapped down a couple of years ago for something similar. He was involved in a talent search for young producers. When he wanted the most talented kid to be chosen, he was told, “no, we’re picking the black kid”. When he argued that the other kid had the most talent, he got slapped down, and overruled. I think some of Hollywood is not as liberal as they make out. It’s chicken s#*t, but they don’t want to lose work. I’m not defending them for that; I just think it’s true.
Oh great, I learned a new acronym that means “Whitey need not apply.”
BAME.
I have noticed the extreme imbalance of minorities on shows and especially ads.
A couple on nights ago, I noticed that 3 out of four characters in one ad were Black. I then decided to keep score until the program came on. Of the next 23 characters shown in ads, 18 were Black. I know that is not scientific and it is probably not that bad overall but it is tremendously skewed to Blacks.
They should be just over 1 in 10 if we go by census records. The other thing they are clearly pushing is inter racial couples. I saw an ad for Direct TV and the couple were mixed race, then I saw one for Dish Network their competitor and it too had a mixed race couple. I forget which one but it had a Black female throwing a White Male’s possessions out on the sidewalk.
This is not happening by accident. They are selling a lot more than the product which pays them.
Recently in London I’ve seen Harry Potter and the Cursed Child where Hermione and her child are black, I’ve recently seen Chess where two Russians were black (and one of the black Russians’ child was white), a King Lear where one of his three daughters was black, and a play where two British guys in WWII were Indian. But it doesn’t go the other way.
And don’t let me start about the female “doctor” who.
I read an article on FR where a rep from Google was boasting that the home office hasn’t hired a white or Asian for 2 years in hopes of achieving their diversity goals.
How many hours of news time would that article have generated if he replaced the word white with black? And how many cities would have been torched to the ground? But since he’s discriminating against the “right” people, who cares, right?
It not only “stinks” it’s blatantly illegal.
When I was casting for a major network, we had to drop “Caucasian Only.” So stupid. Waste of time and money for the actors and agents when there was no intention to cast anything but white for certain roles.
When you see it, boycott it.
Why even waste the energy talking about it?
The next time "THE GREAT WHITE HOPE" is revived, the Jack Johnson character MUST therefor be a white man! ;^)
“Theatre agent Gemma Hamilton has been attacked for saying actors should be hired based on talent and not race.”
I’d love to see a mass boycott of talent agencies that traffic in this crap, then productions using all white casts with really good scripts.
