Someone at CBS is literally going to count the number of writers by skin color. How progressive!

If I ever watched CBS this might be of interest to me.But I don’t...so it isn’t.

Whatever - I must say, if there is even one white person working at CBS, then the entire corporation is racist.

To be perfectly honest, I cannot remember the last time that CBS has been tuned in to in our home. Seriously, I could not say. It has been that long ago.

All of this violates federal civil rights law.

When will we see the FBI and DoJ land on them like they did virtually every other American company starting in the early 1970s?

Somewhere south of “never”

They need balance, every story now is about Blacks (or Covid ending the world). Since when are Blacks 100% of the population?

Would it still count if all the POC in the writers room were Hispanic and Asian???? Maybe 1 or 2 Native Americans.....Would blacks accept that version of diversity?????

I have only known of 3 “white” individuals in my entire life:

1. Staypuft Marshmallow Man

2. Pilsbury Dough Boy

3. Michelin Man

Since I am indigenous to the USA, and have “peach” skin, do I count as BIPOC?

White people need not apply. Change your name to sound black or Hispanic before submitting a resume. Learn Ebonics. Learn Spanish. Get a tan. If all else fails, try blackface.

As always, the market will destroy these morons.

You can mandate the people and elements of TV production but YOU CAN’T FORCE PEOPLE TO TUNE IN. Viewers will avoid these affirmative action shows like the plague. All of this will hasten the complete failure of Hollywood to remain a creative force.

Mediocrity is a death sentence in the creative field.

Remember, new TV shows and films are judged against the greatest ever made which most have already watched.

I watch two programs on that network...SEAL Team and Evil. That’s it.

The problem is they will only hire woke individuals and all their stories will center around the theme of wokeness which will get old very quickly.

Blacklist 2020 version.

In twenty years we will be hearing stories on how white writer could not find work and so had to have a “POC” being their front man, having them present his work as theirs.

All Rise is the lowest rated show for CBS on Mondays. The Neighborhood, Bob Hearts Abishola, and Bull bring more viewers to CBS than All Rise. Having Deadline using All Rise as an example doesn’t instill confidence that CBS knows what they’re doing. CBS seems desperate.

Well, given that the country is still roughly 70% white, sounds to me like there’s some reverse discrimination going on.........#WhiteLivesMatter

We had friends from England visit years ago. Since we live in the southwest they were curious about where we kept all the black people (seriously!!).

Base on American sports and programming seen overseas they assumed that blacks comprised a majority of the population and that we are an apartheid culture.

Sounds like the writing will be as hideous as that approved of by the Union of Soviet Writers under Stalin. If you don’t toe the party line you will be shot.

This is a major investment opportunity for someone who wants to start a production and distribution company that focuses on non-“woke” content (funny comedy, sit-coms and dramas that don’t feature majority inter-racial and LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ, and majority POC cast) could make a killing selling to the 80% of the population who are tired of all the crap the lefty’s push.
