Squeaky wheel and reverse racism.

[House Atreides]

LOL - Affirmative action is running amuck in the way-out-of-proportion number of blacks in commercials and movie reviews are clearly inflated based upon the proportion of blacks in the cast as well as the story line.

It has reached an absurd and embarrassing level.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Exactly. Who would want to get an award without feeling that they had justly earned it?

There are plenty of black actors who have a tremendous stage presence. They’re fully capable of winning without this woke condescension.

A handful of major companies dominate Hollywood, and vertical integration with distribution systems is increasing. Comcast owns NBCUniversal and a lot of smaller names). AT&T is WarnerMedia (and owns a lot of smaller names). Sony owns Columbia, and a lot of smaller names. Disney is independent and owns a lot of smaller names. I think Netflix is still independent and is producing ever-more original content. Amazon is starting to produce its own content. And so it goes.

Part of what's happening is that the suits in these big companies have caved to the mob (and some of them, like Disney, have been leading the mob). The word has gone out from the suits to prioritize diversity. I don't have a sense of how toxic it's gotten -- here and there, white people are still being hired -- but clearly the industry is now far beyond quotas and into systematic anti-white discrimination. I suspect that the decision makers at Hulu or Miramax or HBO or Dreamworks or any of the myriad other operational units are being evaluated on their success in hiring anyone but white people. It doesn't matter if X is a brilliant young actress and script Y is perfect for her: if she's the wrong color, it's a hard sell, and potentially a career ender for people in management if the film doesn't work out.

In theory this should create opportunities for independent filmmakers who may be less vulnerable to corporate pressure. But Hollywood is now requiring diversity targets to qualify for Oscars, so there's a penalty if you don't knuckle under. And I'm concerned about the concentration of power in the distribution channels. Will independent films be able to get decent distribution deals and reach large audiences? Films are too expensive to be done on a samizdat basis. I'd like to think that a writer, director or producer with a good idea is still able to pitch the idea, attract financial backers, hire who he wants, make a good film without kowtowing to the race police, and still get it in play. But I'm starting to worry. I'd be happy to let the majors destroy themselves with political correctness, but if their corporate parents control the distribution, they may be able to block the competition.

White privilege guilt

Squeaky wheel.

Other races don’t riot.

They must have gone to “Black Acting School”

[EdnaMode]

Not until 100% of the nominees are black.

[motor_racer]

Just give everybody a participation trophy and send them home.
