The "most qualified" people don't need to be hired as part of a quota.

This is such a tired talking point from 1992 and has been proven wrong again and again.

Our VP is a diversity hire and she may run the country, there are 1,000,000 better leaders than her. Also the Supreme Court justice Brown was a diversity hire as Biden said he would only an AA woman. Basically he excluded all males and white women, Asian women, Latino women. There is no way she was the “most” qualified.

Actually, she was extremely qualified. I don't care what her skin color is - she was a qualified candidate. More so than some of the other current Justices.

She is a bad example to use.

Sorry. For f*** GENERATIONS white, Christian (mostly protestant), land owning, men were affirmative action hires. They got jobs and positions because they shut women, Catholics, Jews, Black and Brown people, and people of other races and ethnicities out of those jobs. If you literally block other people from being able to apply and fill those positions through discrimination or the old boys network, you are not filling the job with the most qualified/smartest candidate. We may have cured cancer or solved other problems if it were not for these old boy networks that try to reserve seats at the table for people who look like the original male pilgrims instead of allowing everyone a level playing field and an unencumbered chance to earn their place at the table.

Not affirmative action if they built and founded the company not to mention the nation. You might also be surprised to know that in China, Chinese people are in most positions of power.

Wow someone really needs a remedial history lesson believing that line.

True I don't have experience in remedial classes.

And I’m sure you think Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett were the most qualified judges available for the Supreme Court a few years ago.

Like Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonja Sotomayor were?!

Why are are we ignoring Clarence Thomas?
Diversity hire, incompetent (didn't even bother doing his job for decades while Scalias was alive), and corrupt. Trifecta.

That will be all of us on the future since colleges went test optional and are big on holistic admissions. The Supreme Court case just emboldened them to fight the decision through essay questions point blank asking about a student’s diversity and using other factors to continue diversity admits.

A much better way to promote industry diversity is via training and apprenticeship programs aimed at underrepresented groups. The biggest barriers at this point are not in getting hired on a film once you are in the industry, it's getting the requisite training and developing contacts to get started in the first place.

They are trying to do it backwards with "hire more diverse casts, crews, writers and directors!" Ok, that's a great hiring program for people who already have the bona fides to get hired. Who, diverse or not, are likely to be in that position due to family connections or other privilege.

If you actually want diversity of voices in the industry, every studio, agency, union, and trade group should have an apprenticeship program with open applications (no nepo babies allowed) and a preference for underrepresented groups (so you are more likely to get a spot in the set design apprentice program if you are from a underrepresented group).

Then you'll have a more diverse pool of people to hire.

Uh, so your movie will not qualify for the Acedemy Awards due to lack of diversity…….

Our movie was set in 1750’s Denmark……


So what will happen to so many great movies that don’t fit hollywoods diversity Guidlines? Do you now have to be historically incorrect to qualify? Think about a movie like Cast Away with Tom Hanks. It’s basically a full movie with Tom Hanks alone on an island. So by todays standards, this movie where he won a golden globe, would not even be eligible for that or the Oscar’s?

How stupid is Hollywood?

Riiiiiight a movie set in historical Denmark absolutely needs a 100% white camera crew, sound technicians, make-up artists, set crew etc.

It just wouldn’t be authentic if everyone from the costume designer to the directors did not have blond hair.

But, it was written and filmed in Denmark. It will probably be fine because it can fulfill its diversity requirements with categories other than racial minorities in the crew, but it might be close. And, I wouldn’t want to be the person responsible for going around and asking people about their sexuality or disability status to make sure they can qualify. It’s invasive and not the best way to promote actual diversity.

The arrogance in the question, though. As if their movie is even of Oscar caliber. Sheesh.
