Why would I care what anyone in Hollywood has to say?

They think b/c they wear makeup and were born with good genes their opinion matters.

It doesn't.

Point is that a given year isn't telling. All time is.

Producer Effie Brown ("Dear White People") reiterated her support for a directing team of a woman and an Asian man as the best equipped to handle a sensitive role in the film.


I thought that SJW's didn't consider Asians to be minorities on account of their financial success and low imprisonment rate. I know that some universities penalize them when it comes to admissions.

Saw this commentary on "White Guilt" today.

White guilt is where white people are supposed to feel responsible for and guilty of whatever their ancestors did generations ago while many Black people refuse to even take accountability for their own actions or their own children

Damn. I was hyped up to see that Project Greenlight was back on the air, only to find out they've politicized this season.

On one hand, the term "whitesplaining" was invented to dismiss and shut down dissent.....but on the other Damon is a tool who I wish nothing but discomfort for.

So this is sort of a snake eating it's own tail scenario or me.

It's not just a number things--it's the consistent portrayal of minorities in subservient and lesser than roles that just go on to perpetuate stereotypes amongst the masses that don't interact with these folks.

Just like he minstrel shows of the 1870s did.

There is nothing wrong with diversity. It is plausible too for a white man to be fraudulently wrong about a concert, either due to a lack of education, listening or experiences, etc.

That though, is a a concept and point that is way to hard for some to comprehend.

How is it implausible that a white man just may not have the sensitives or is equip enough to handle the portrayal of some ethnic portions of a script ? Is that out of bounds ?
