Forced diversity comes to crap on another great TV series


Decades from now generations are going to cringe at what leftist political activists have done to the entertainment industry.

reply

Not just entertainment. They destroy everything they set their sights on.

reply

In the US today, white people under the age of 18 are already a minority.

And why don't you find a real problem to complain about?

reply

So is every other race under 18. You focus so many posts on race. What is the point? I’m tired of all the political shots being taken in every thread but measuring everything by whose race is more powerful is far worse. I love my fellow citizens and try to find common ground regardless of what they look like.

reply

"So is every other race under 18" -uuhm, thats not how math works😂

reply

The poster was referring to demographic statistics indicating the current generation of white kids under the age of 18 are thought to be just below 50% of their cohort. Considering the number of races in America, that figure would mean every other individual race is likewise a minority for the under 18 cohort. I’m unsure how math works for you but if you believe there’s an individual non-Caucasian race that is a majority of current American children, I am interested in your citation.

what about fez in the original series?

must you idiots complain about wokeness in everything before you even see it? and did it ever occur to you that you see it in everything because YOU'RE obsessed?

Fez was one of the best characters in the original show. His presence felt natural. The producers didn't shoehorn him in for the sake of it. Look at the scene set in The Hub in the trailer for That '90s Show. Five out of the seven characters (Ozzie, Gwen, Nikki and the two extras) in that shot seem to be ethnic. It's not realistic for a smallish town in Wisconsin in the 1990s. It's just pandering at this point.

It seems Bonnie and Terry Turner want to appease people who probably won't even watch the new show. Then again, this is a Netflix production. They treat a vapid bore like Meghan Markle like she's the second coming. At least the show gives people like you another opportunity to feel morally superior, eh?

reply

Benefit hindsight is a crazy thing, eh?

reply

Hey one kid explicitly known as a foreign exchange student is the exact same thing as over half the gang now being nonwhite!

Do yo listen to yourself talk or do you just babble without thinking?

We complain about "wokeness" in everything because it's being applied to everything. Idiots like you are cheering on a blatant attack on white people and it needs to stop.

reply

a blatant attack on white people and it needs to stop.

LMAO

reply

These people really are out of their mind. They believe that not only are they the center of the universe, but everything must cater exactly to how they view things.

reply

Yeah, it would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

reply

Oh the irony …

And you don’t even realize it …

reply

Sounds like a specific culture

reply

Exactly! Is this guy for real? I haven't been able to figure it out!

reply

In 20 years or so, when white people are the minority in the USA, you'll probably be complaining that white people aren't represented enough in mainstream entertainment.

...that is, if you haven't already died of pointless, bitter hatred.

reply

I'll still be alive, standing up to your open racism against white people.

reply

I'm a white person. Be better. Don't eat yourself up inside because you see more people of color on your TV. Try to be a happier person.

reply

Or if they haven't died from the jab

reply

Let's also not forget, in the original series, Hyde was biracial. His black dad was played by Tim Reid (of WKRP fame), and he also had a black half-sister. Don't you remember this? I'm sure if you watched the show at that time you would have been infuriated! LOL!

reply

Netflix is available in almost 200 countries. Maybe that's why they try to appeal to diverse audiences. Stop being a little snowflake who is offended by people of color appearing in movies and on TV.

reply

diverse audience should make own show if they want to see diverse.

as foreign man i like to see good storys and actor, not politic.

race agenda taking over quality.

reply

In the US, caucasians under the age of 18 are already a minority. In 20 years or so, caucasians will officially be a minority in the US.

This isn't forced diversity or a race agenda. It's actually reflecting the population.

reply

Because white people know how to practice birth control, and everyone else is a bitty bunny rabbit.

Also, breeding gets you a bigger Welfare check.

reply

Biggest problem is Mexico is racist to the nth degree, so the whites in Mexico chase all the darkest dregs of their country in the US so they don't have to deal with them.

reply

Tell that to rednecks.

reply

Do you remember hearing about the time in U.S. history when it was the Irish who were subject to your brand of racism?

reply

I remember the catchy little ditty - No Irish Need Apply.

reply

and have you notice film and tv becoming shit with more diverse hahahahahahahahahahahah

i will be sane person and choose film i like because of good story and character not race.

only race obsess retard watch film and want to see diverse when they should want to see qualitys. that is why everyone so racist in usa - white black asian hispanic. you all obsess with race and it mean i cant watch good film anymore because you retard want diverse and not merits.

reply

It's too bad so many non-English speaking foreigners are invading this website and making it difficult to comprehend.

reply

It's not real. I'm assuming they are trolling. Their posts when they first started posting were not like this at all.

reply

Interesting. I'm not surprised...people lacking attention in life will do anything to attract attention.

reply

It's because they never seen a black man in real life

reply

No wonder why everything is going to sh*t.

reply

This is an interesting parallel that no one wants to face:
America lost its greatest nation status, while woke progress tries to spread, and those that built the greatest nation are passed by.
Interesting

reply

This must be one of the most idiotic arguments I’ve ever seen. Netflix Korean shows have 100% Koreans. You will not see 50% black Koreans and 50% lgbt Koreans. So the argument that NF makes movies for a diverse audience is quite … moronic.
Turk movies? Same. 100% Turks. And so forth. Only “white” movies have the “require” diversity hires …

There was a comedy, The Trip, Norway, that was making fun of it, when they were making the movie of the story and the American version was with the mandatory black husband, as a mockery of the woke culture …

reply

No wait, they've changed their argument! Now it's because it's a reflection of society (of a small Wisconsin town in the mid 90s...)

reply

It has forced diversity, but the worst part is the casting is bad even if you ignore the racial bullshit. This are bad actors that look like they should be in some shitty Disney channel show. Hell most of the characters just look like poor imitations of the ones from the 70's show.

reply

Honestly wish them luck because even with a strong cast, That 80's Show bombed.

Original was cut some slack because networks were shifting to reality TV and unwilling to try out new sitcoms. The Simpsons should have been put down decades ago, but networks held on to it because of this dynamic. Also explains Chuck Lorre's string of success. Or the ongoing mockumentary trend.

I'll give it shot for a couple episodes.

reply

I have no problem with diversity but the young actors in this are just bad, they don't have the chemistry that the 70's show cast had. Too bad because I actually really liked all the cameos, but that's a problem when this show is supposed to be about the kids. After two episodes I am done with this show.

reply

that is true. this show is painful.

reply

I agree, we've had diversity for decades, which has been successful because the talent was awesome. Today, the talent IS NOT awesome.

reply

The days of every role going to straight, white people are long gone. Sorry you can't keep up with the times.

I doubt future generations will cringe the same way we cringe at black people only playing servants or blackface.

reply

I can keep up with the times. And I can also voice my disgust at it. Racism against white people will not be tolerated. The specific ethnic replacement of white people in film won't happen without people calling it out for what it is.

reply

Oh, god. So you're one of those "white genocide", Tucker Carlson-watching far right moron.

Let me add you to my ignore list so I don't see your "woe is we" whining.

reply

Oh god, so you're one of those people who are causally racist against white people but pretend not to. Yes, please set me to ignore so I don't have to watch you pretend like white ethnic replacement in media isn't happening.

reply

Have you ever watched any movies past 1925?

reply

Yeah, your mom's sex tape.

reply

My god that was the dumbest statement you've made in a long time, "....black people only playing servant or blackface."

A black person isn't capable of doing blackface, you do understand what blackface is don't you? It isn't a black actor it is a white actor that blackens their face as in Al Jolson who pretty much set the standard for blackface long long ago.

Future generation will laugh at the diversity bullshit that destroyed movie studios that were too stupid to understand that they were in the business of making money and not making liberal idiots happy. It really doesn't matter if the majority of the US population is white, black, yellow, red or whatever color you choose... what matter is who makes up the majority of the people that go to movies, they are the ones that matter not the penniless liberals delivering pizza just to pay the rent. And given the poor performance of the movies catering to those pizza driving libtards, the vast majority of movie goers don't want woke shit.

reply

He never said or implied that black people do blackface

Let me help you parse the statement here

"I doubt future generations will cringe the same way we cringe at black people only playing servants or blackface."

He is saying we cringe at 2 things from the past ...
1. black people only playing servants
OR
2. blackface


reply

No he thought black people only played servants or blackface... The poster is a complete idiot and has said dumb things for years.

reply

No he didn't. I don't know him but his statement was pretty clear. I assume English isn't your first language so perhaps I should explain how conjunctions work but not sure if that would help
There are 2 ways you could parse that conjunction, one makes perfect sense , you chose the one that doesn't even thought context clearly indicates the other was the intended statement

reply

Stop trying to cover for your dumb ass son

reply

I doubt future generations will cringe the same way we cringe at black people only playing servants or blackface.


YOU MADE A BOO BOO...THE SENTENCE IS RIDICULOUS...IT HAS CRINGE IN IT TWICE...BUT HE IS CLEARLY STATING THAT FUTURE GENRATIONS WILL NOT REACT IN THE SAME WAY AS "US" TO black people only playing servants or THE ACT OF blackface.

reply

it is a keelai sock account. she have many on here.

reply

And whose sock account are you?

reply

hi keelai

reply

I've had this account for 6 years, but nice try.

And how many weeks has your account existed?

reply

I know, right? Get those colored people off the set and back on to the cotton plantations and orange groves where they belong. My god, the non-whiteness hurts my eyes.

A homo… what? Them be best hung by the neck like they deserve. God never intended that.

Women? They’re not people, they’re property. They’re to marry and care for the children and shut up while their husband provides.

Come on man, society changes. We’ve heard all of the above and much worse tons of times throughout history. And that 70s show had tons diversity and touchy subjects in it at the time. I remember my parents complaining that it was a bad influence.

This is directed at everyone. Let’s stop complaining about everything and do something. You don’t like the show? Don’t watch it and it won’t ever bother you again. Get up, go outside for a walk for 30 minutes. Read a book. Talk to a friend. Or maybe just watch something you like better. If it’s that jarring to that many people, then the show will be canceled. And if you do something like the above you won’t even care the show was canceled. Instead, you will will only care that you have made productive use of your time by investing in your own happiness.

That’s my 2 cents. Take it or not. I won’t engage in any of this stuff anymore and I suggest others not do so as well. I just got excited to see there was a follow up to that 70s only to see toxic political diarrhea all over the message boards. Had to comment.



reply

> Get those colored people off the set and back on to the cotton plantations and orange groves where they belong.

Hollywood is ethnically replacing white people in roles, instead of starting original shows with non white people. It's blatant racism against white people and not pro people of color to be doing things this way. I would ignore it if it weren't everywhere.

reply

I did follow an actor that went from Texas to Hollywood..in Texas he had already been in an independent film, had a lot of promise. But, he went out to Hollywood around 2010, the agents wouldn't take him, saying they were looking for "other than white" actors.

reply

the agents wouldn't take him, saying they were looking for "other than white" actors.

Wow.

reply

That's because the HR departments don't want to hire any Hispanics or other minorities that might pass for white because they need to make sure that their diversity casting is obvious. Frankly their are black actors that probably get passed over because they aren't black enough. I know I worked in a Fortune 50 company where they had a C-level executive that was black die suddenly... did they replace him with any of the people that were right below him in the company? No they went out and hired a black guy that had no experience whatsoever in the business, and the only reason is they wanted to make sure that their annual reports had a black face in it.

reply

Growing up just about every TV show I watched was black, about every CD I owned was black, I watched a whole lot of black movies so I'm not exactly sure where you Liberals get this idea that it was only white males on screen until like 5 years ago other that to assume you are just all a bunch of Nazi agitators.

reply

Why would anyone want the "colored people back on the plantations"? Mexican's do a much better job and don't bitch nearly as much as blacks.

reply

To the people who post about whites not being a majority anymore..they are..there's still about 50% whites ages 0-17, with Hispanics being a little over 25%. The rest not statistically relevant.

Even 10 years from today it'll still be 46% non-hispanic WHITE, 27% hispanic.

AND FORTY FREAKING YEARS FROM TODAY there still will be 38% non-hispanic WHITE, 32% Hispanic. The rest marginally significant.

El Blancos, too damn many of them if you ask me. They just won't go away!

reply

I'm sure the OP doesn't want to get lumped in with Hispanics though.

reply

The other little fact the black folks tend to ignore is that their percentage of the population is dropping and has been since it peaked around 1760... At the current rate of decline it won't be long until they are just a footnote in the "other" category. And irony is that it isn't the republicans that are pushing them to oblivion, it is the democrats... Open border increase the population and very few crossing the southern border are black, so that drops them... then their is the abortions which by and large result in more black babies being aborted than any other race... All these things brought to you by the democrats... Now if someone could explain how it is the most black vote democrat I would love to know.

reply

All we need to do is allow more immigrants from African countries and then you won't need to worry.

reply

Ironically (or hypocritically), the show doesn't have black family or a black person, but a mixed raced woman.

reply

You really think she claims to be white? Get real. 100 to 1 odds she only checks the box for african american on demographic surveys.
