WHERE'S the diversity?


Sure there are black rednecks, overacting women and rainbow flag inflatables .... But that is all LITERALLY TOKEN stuff.

WHERE is the rest? Big booty Latinx, pregnant men, medically transitioned children and lesbians performing their own full term abortions?

I SWEAR the bad guys better be white or it's time to riot.

Sadly - he's not *that* insane.

pretty sad that a lot of angry white dudes legitimately think like this, getting triggered over minority inclusions in pieces of fiction. cant wait for the history books to be laughing at morons like that

reply

So will you also laugh at all the people getting triggered over white shows and movies that ask for more diversity.

me thinks you won't

The way he put it across is of course satire but his point is valid.

An all black show/movie will be celebrated for its diversity and inclusion even though it is completely homogenous. Not really very diverse is it.

An all white show/movie will be derided and called problomatic because it is homogenous and reuires more diversisty and inclusion. Odd isn;t it.

How can one homogenous piece if fiction be ok but not another. That is called hypocrisy and shouldn't be accepted.

Simply put should skin colour matter in works of fiction or not. Pick one. You can't have it both ways.

Too right.

you are right, it really doesnt matter. which is why i think it's hilarious that some "alpha male" white dudes accuse anything starring women or minority characters as 'woke' and 'having an agenda'. 99% of these movies dont have agends. i got into an argument with people who thought the new jurassic park movie was 'woke' because black people were in it "when they didn't need to be".

just watch the movie. if you like it, cool. if you dont, it is what it is. dont get triggered because a black guy is in it.

reply

99% of these movies dont have agends

Really? huh. So then why make a big deal (not you personally) about every race swap and saying things like Bond needs to black or needs more diversity if it isn;t an agenda. If it wasn't it would come orgnaically nor forced.

Until the rules are equally done then you will always see pushback.

Calling people alpha male white dudes just creates its own issues as well as it makes the assumption that black people never complain which they most certainly do.

just watch the movie. if you like it, cool. if you dont, it is what it is. dont get triggered because a black guy is in it.

So wthen why do people get worked up when there isn;t enough black people in a movie or tv show. Shouldn't that arguement be the same across the board.

The issue is not that there are black people but that they lazily race swap characters for no other reason than to switch skin colour and if you dare say anything as shown on this board you are called racist or some other name. Just like you did to the OP.

Forced = Tokenism which helps no one and just cause more division.

Jordan Peele was allowed to say he would never cast a white lead. Fine. His movie he can do what he wants. But can you imagine for one second what would happen if someone said they wouldn't hire a black lead. We would have George Floyd scenes all over again.

WONDERFUL...YOU CAN REALLY TELL THAT THINGS ARE GETTING CLOSE TO EVEN(FINALLY) WHEN THE OLD WHITE GUYS START GETTING NERVOUS AND MOUTHY....IT'S CALLED THE FUTURE,GRAMPS...IT INCLUDES EVERYONE...EXCEPT YOU,APPARENTLY.🙂

reply

I love replies like this as you are only interested in trolling and writting nonsense. You didn't read anything. You just saw a few words and then decided to write your dribble.

Why should things in movies be equal? Why is 100& black IP diverse and inclusive but 100% white IP not deiverse enough and is problamtic. They are both homogenous groups. But you will just reply with some tripe like above so why am I even bothering to reply.

If someone wants to make a movie with an all black cast or an all white cast then they should be allowed to but we all know that one would be celebrated and one would be derided. Until that changes then there will always be pushback and there will always be soyboy liverals like yourself standing up for racism. Better go back yo your safe space where you can no longer misgender someone incase they get triggered and have you done for a non violent hate crime.

reply

I AGREE WITH YOU...HOWEVER...I WOULDN'T BE PETTY ENOUGH TO SIT AROUND TALKING AND TYPING ABOUT SUCH MINOR BULLSHIT.

reply

And this is EXACTLY what he is talking about:

".IT INCLUDES EVERYONE...EXCEPT YOU,APPARENTLY." - by you meaning the white people. Some fucking diversity. At least you finally admit.

reply

There’s certainly more white leads in movies than black leads.
Peele just wants to balance the work. That’s all

reply

Peele is a racist prick. That's all.

reply

That might make sense if the USA was 50% black, it isn’t, it’s 13% black, and very concentrated in urban areas.

Peele should focus on making good films instead of peddling his racist woke agenda.

reply

white people are safe, calm down

reply

pretty sad when a lot of entitled black people think about calling out every little thing as 'racist', like with Sesame Street. Can't wait for the history books to be reflecting on how they are are black people and how there are... LOL.

reply

hey! aren't you supposed to be in your safespace? adults are talking here. run along now.

reply

yep, the adults are talking, so, go to your room and do some.

reply

'entitled black people' lol

reply

gibs me dat

reply

Future historians are going to have a field day when they start covering just how fucked up America got in the first quarter of the 21’s century. I wish I’d live long enough to read it.

reply

I say nope to diversity.

reply

ha! :D

LMAO, a great sense of humour triplea, of which a couple of people on here commenting are sadly lacking.
