Also, Jethro Bodine might be intelligent
the brain surgenen wannabe? you haven't watched the show, have you?
It's not going to be letting morons in.
how do they know they aren't if they do away with merit tests? doesn't matter i guess, because we have seen what a university education has done for the rioters.

I do wonder if there's an element of cart before horse about this. From what I I understand of Hollywood, the motivation to make films is 100% commercial. It's all about making money. Oscars would seem very incidental to that, so I can't see these quotas having too much impact. Sure, if the awarding criteria state x no. of black actors, y no. of homos, z no. of disabled people, then yeah, they will be better represented in Oscar awards but I doubt it'll do much for overall representation.

Think you are missing the point altogether.
The whole idea is to encourage equitable representation on and off screen in order to better reflect the diversity of the movie going audience, the very people who pay to watch and make these movies popular in the first place, and Ricks comment, about remakes is ridiculous, since these changes only apply to new films being made in the next four years.

I mean for e.g. Shouldn't we be spending billions on trying to get more white people on telly. We're being oppressed away from prized TV jobs.
"On-screen we find that many of the diversity groups – transgender, over-50s, Black, Asian
and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and disabled people – are represented at a higher rate than
they are off-screen. This is particularly so for those who identify as BAME (22.7% on-screen
contributions, 12.3% off-screen), and those who identify as transgender (0.8% on-screen,
0.2% off-screen)."

It would be interesting to see if those “representations” are in roles that call for actors or a specific background or not.
I.e are the “over represented” in relation to the specific role requirements or not. I would imagine transgender people are only ever placed in roles where they character is transgender.

Why would that be interesting? Why would it not? It would be interesting to see if the alleged overrepresentation is down to casting or writing. |

Does it really matter how the scientifically proven over-representation happens? Surely the main thing now is emergency action to ensure the representation of white people on TV. After all, we've heard it proclaimed long and loud how important it is that the ethnicities are proportionately represented.

I for one would find myself marginalised if transgender actors took on non transgender roles.
