Indians take in-group preference and colorism to the extreme. Their own internal racism is so extreme it was an exploitable weakness that allowed the British to colonize all 1 billion of them. But keep harping on those whities I guess.

What are you going on about? Im South Indian and just got back from a very diverse Indian wedding (Hindu-Jain). Lots of diverse looking Indians and non-Indian having fun! Plus, “wheatish.” Gross. We are all brown.

Midway back on the right standing sort of behind Dax.

I see no gaps. I do see everyone had their wife/husband or SO with them, except for Aniston and guy front left. I’m guessing he was her date. I think Jen moved so they weren’t pictured together. She’s very secretive as to who she has been dating.

Yes

I think it was the kind of party that you fly in for, and then fly home same day or next day via G6.

Can you spot the issue?

The Today Show on NBC, not one white person as host. Where’s the diversity?

I prefer to believe that Jennifer Aniston slept on the couch.

It's some kind of lodge/resort.

It’s somebody’s mansion; people are saying, Jimmy Kimmel.

Jimmy bought a fishing lodge and they all stay there. I think Jimmy uses it as his summer retreat. And it’s expensive to stay there when he’s not using it.

Posting this pic makes them look thirsty.

It also makes the others look thirsty.

Lack of diversity isn’t surprising. But do you really think a black A lister would want to hang with this group?

PS - The real celebs were in Greece this summer.

I feel like Kristen Bell couldn’t resist posting this she got caught up in the moment.

Comparing this to workplaces or magazine spreads is insulting— there are lots of qualified POC who could work at HuffPo or who belong on a “Women in Hollywood” magazine cover, do their exclusion in those instances does reflect a lack of diversity and a missed opportunity.

But the idea that every dinner party must include a certain percentage of POC (and agree with other posters that it’s interesting that being an Asian woman is apparently not diverse here) is just weird. It’s not even a question of having diverse friend groups because what if you have a diverse friend group but the POC in your life are randomly all out of town or have a conflict. Do you cancel the dinner party?

Also, it’s just interesting that “diversity” has come to mean exactly one thing, and it’s a thing you can determine by looking at a photo of faces. When a truly diverse society would be diverse along many metrics. This dinner might be diverse in many ways, but we only care about the one. Ok.

Agree, why is there only one group that seems to represent diversity? They've cried so much about it they are now over represented in the entertainment business.

“ The party seems to have taken place at South Fork Lodge in Sweet Valley, Idaho, which Jimmy Kimmel (also pictured, along with his wife, Molly) reportedly bought in 2020, according to the Idaho State Journal.”

“ The photo, which makes for an epic game of "six degrees of separation," included Jennifer Aniston, who sat near her close friends Jason Bateman and Friends costar Courteney Cox. Of course, Bell’s husband Dax Shepard could be seen smiling midway along the table; he sat across from Parks and Recreation actor Adam Scott. John Mulaney and Olivia Munn also made an appearance in the photo, while Munn threw up a peace sign for the photo.

The celebrity sightings didn't end there. The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon could also be seen at the end of the table, waving hello, along with CNN's Jake Tapper and actor and writer, Tim Curcio.”

She has mental health and insecurity issues. Let her have this moment.

He’s awful in every way.

It’s Jimmy Kimmel’s lodge, party and invite.
