When a bunch of old white men are in charge, they tend to ignore pretty much anyone who doesn’t look like they do. 60% of DEI hire were white women. As a white woman who directs tv shows for a living, it’s difficult when shows like Supernatural that was on 15 years, airing 327 episodes, never hired a female director. I for one will always be grateful for that but then again, i wasn’t around when my mom wasn’t allowed to get her own credit card, thankfully. When you’re casting a show, there are several small roles. A receptionist with one line or a nurse or a cop etc. someone who doesn’t one quick little scene. Those are the roles they fill with POC now with the new rules in effect. It’s just to make people aware.

So, it's OK to fill a role with a less talented actor so that some diversity quota is met? There are plenty of talented "POC" actors, I wonder what they think of lowering standards to accommodate their less talented brethren. When I watch a movie, I want entertainment and quality performances. I couldn't give a rat's furry arse about how much "diversity" the casting director was able to shove down our throats. Give me Morgan Freeman and Denzel Washington all day long, but don't give me "all the stars that never were who are parking cars and pumping gas"
