Well a show with all straight, white, Christian men would be pretty boring since everyone would cooperate, work hard toward common goals, and there wouldn't be any drama.
I still love watching Leave it to Beaver reruns.
You mean like The Waltons or Little House on the Prairie?
Or, for that matter, Max Headroom ...
Absolutely. But more and more I am loving classic television. Like Jefferson’s and all in the family. Those shows would give people heart attacks today.
Our family sits down together every and watches The Andy Griffith Show while eating ice cream. My kids love it and make sure they set aside time to sit with us.
I love that show as well. Sadly it has too many traditional values for today’s entertainment industry.
is this why women love diversity... because they actually love drama???
I know whites are somewhat on their way out, but we are not there yet and if you take in to account white Latinos I think whites make 75% of the population? I may be off on this number so do not crucify me. So if whites are underrepresented then is this not clear racism by leftist standards?
No, it's racism by actual standards.
By leftist standards there's no such thing as racism against white people so you can discriminate against them all you want.
According to progressives on reddit it is important that in every job or institution to be an exact replica of the US population, not even local state population. And is not racist cause while you do discriminate against whites, asians or men, you are in fact applying a rule in a neutral manner equally. So according to their own standards this would be racism.
Nah, that's old talking points.
You've got to remember that they don't care about being consistent or logical.
They're just saying whatever they think will get them what they want in the moment.
The moment you point out media where straight/white/men are underrepresented, like British television or a media company where the entire leadership are women or shows that have lgbt representation several times their portion of the population, the argument completely changes. They completely discard the "equal/fair" representation model and start arguing that it's good for minority populations to be over-represented and straight/white/men to be underrepresented.
You will never get one of them to argue that white people need more representation in something. And they really do believe that there's no such thing as racism against white people, or sexism against men.
I think Sweden had something like this where they had 50/50 quotas in education or something and the second it started benefiting men they removed it.
Oh yeah, higher education in the US is now heavily biased towards women.
If those idiot progressives had any ideological consistency they should be calling out the institutional sexism and calling for changes to help men. Instead they're still pushing for women to get even more preferential treatment in higher education.
Funnily enough that won't change muh gender pay gap or any other perceived sexism. But why should they care, it's not their own money they are burning.
Leftists don't have standards, only a desire for power. I hope we're all keenly aware of that by now.
Also, don't grant them "white Latinos", that just gives them more room to advance their goal of displacing whites before the statistics can accurate reflect the reality of the elimination of European peoples.
It's OK when they do it because they are good™ people.
They dont care cause the main thing is that the powers to be just want Whites completely gone.. And they also always conveniently chose to ignore that Whites are not represented at all , in other non-western country's media
Throw in the middle easterners. Quite a few of them are white.
Will this also include canine, feline, and other non-human Americans as well? :P Or just really fat, ugly, POX?
Anyone notice how fugly humans in commercials are getting?
I was thinking about that. What the fuck happened with commercials? They are going from unattractive to actually ugly. Even models in online shops are ugly and look unhappy.
You shut up about the stunning and beautiful Stacey Abrams, who is the governor of Georgia.
squints Didn't she appear in Gimme a Break? :P
I still say eventually this diversity obsession will destroy itself. At some point you need to hire a black actor or director because they do a good job. Not because they whine endlessly about non existent racism. Peele and Duvernay are poster children for everything wrong with this diversity obsession in entertainment
I hope you are correct but I have a feeling this diversity obsession is here to stay for at least a few decades.
Here's betting that some groups will be greatly overrepresented among those 'nonwhite' groups and others underrepresesented...
I don't think they're going to have a proportional percentage of Asians, they're just going to hire blacks. Because swavewy.
something like 2 whites, 2 latinos, 4 blacks and maybe 1 asian or arab
Have you ever been watching a movie and there were black-only commercials? I find them fascinating, since they're targeting a demographic with nearly identical ads, but where all the actors "look like you" instead of a multi-racial politically correct casting. That marketing function to appeal to people on a familial and slightly racist level is perfectly reasonable to me, and I see these minority-only shows as just targeting a certain demo the same way those ads do. Pandering to racists shouldn't be illegal, nobody is forcing anyone to watch televised media, and it probably attracts more than it alienates.
If it's too woke for comfort, then they will lose viewers, as we have seen. If it's throwing in a token Hispanic for the Latino Housewife demographic, then more power to `em. It's a free country.
Edit: I get that you're pointing out the hypocrisy, but it's not like it's hurting anyone (but possibly their ratings).
Is still racist, but I understand your point. The same thing as making an action movie for guys. However you can't be fine with making shows for minorities but if you make a movie with white people it is suddenly racist.
It makes sense, using globalist logic; "Whites are a worldwide minority, therefore all mediums ought to reflect this in order to ease the populace into the idea"
no one watches their shows
I expect that there is going to be a maximum of one white male. I expect that white women are calling the shots and I've noticed that they do not like to share spotlight.
