Every reality show on TV seems so fake now. Instead of casting who would be good on the show, they cast to hit their diversity numbers: at least 3 gays, 4-6 black, 3-5 asian, no more than 3 whites, etc.

This. It's really more embarrassing to me to manufacture diversity than it is to just have mostly white friends. And do we really think that any POC wants to be invited solely based on their skin color?

Yes, obviously manufacturing diversity is the same as no diversity. Organic and natural diversity would be nice coming from these Hollywood power houses.

NP. How upset do you get when you see this type of non-diverse dinner party? Is this one okay?

This is different

And this is all beautiful people, too. What about having some homely folks there to be more diverse?

Who is the man?

I thought the same - every woman in that pic is a stunner!

I did know who Steadman is but why is he there with a dinner party of all women 😂.

Here's what's different, PP: This photo isn't getting called out like the other one. Because there is nothing to call out. Someone had a party and it was nice and they look happy. Yay. Same goes for the other photo. Someone had a party and it was nice. Yay.

I really like Kristen, but can’t stand her husband.

Is Dax in a relationship with his Podcast partner? That whole situation is weird.

Monica Padman is not white but she does not seem in touch with Indian culture or any of the south Asian people in Hollywood. (Unrelated to any points on this thread, just saying.)

And the relationship between her and Dax/Kristen is very very strange.

May I take this opportunity to shout out, let’s get rid of this term! We’re not in the 1960s anymore.
You’re not a ‘minority’ in a place where people like you are the majority. (No offense to PP I replied to its jist a term people seem to take for granted.)

Me too but I'm not white. Last week I noticed a group of 20+ college boys/girls at a restaurant without a single POC. I don't take note of small groups but I notice large groups along with company photos or big friend outings. Usually it's more "just noticing" reaction without any outrage. If it's higher stakes like a company who cannot employ someone who is not a clone of the owner I'll roll my eyes. If it's a body of people making decisions that affect many including POC, I get upset. This photo just makes me think "oh, they're like that, no surprise" and I take no offense.

Are you for real? How is it your business if they want to associate with a black, Asian or Latino person? It's their life, their choice. Also, what do you mean that t"they are like that"??? I see lot of behaviors that are unique to black people but never once do I think, "oh they are like that, no surprise". You are super weird and entitled.

Reading comprehension issues?

Can you spot the issue?

This diversity sh*t is completely out of control. Let her invite whoever she wants to invite, let her enjoy her friends. Just let people be. F-

+1
This is so typical of liberals, policing everyone’s life to make sure they sort people into their little boxes of race / gender / ethnicity. This idiocy is going to bring about huge backlash from moderate people who want no part of it.

Yes it is our business. If red state farmers had such a monochromatic get-together, Kimmel & Co. would denounce them publicly as despicable racists. When they do it it’s because all the minorities were tying their shoes when the photo was taken. That’s ok, I’m sure there was plenty of melanin working hard in the kitchen.

+1 Kristen Bell chose to share it with the world on social media. So people are allowed to react and also make their reactions public.

If she doesn't want scrutiny, just enjoy and don't tweet. But of course they DO want the attention.

She and her husband DO very much seem to need others to know that they are very cool, and very self aware (but I am not sure they are really). Obvs they don't give a shit what nobody me thinks but they've def. rubbed me the wrong way, starting with their Africa in Africa video.

The Africa video was hilarious. Why would something so completely innocuous "rub you the wrong way"?

Dax is a loser who has fallen off the wagon so many times recently. He’s an embarrassment.

I'm not going to seek out POC friends just to tick boxes. That seems very wrong and creepy, IMO.

You don’t have to seek them out. You have to avoid them to not have a diverse friend group in hollywood.
