I'm tired of this overemphasis on diversity spilling into our entertainment.

Diversity is not talent in any sense. If anything it's more likely to be racist or sexist because you're picking people mainly on sex, race or sexuality over other people who are likely more talented or experienced. It's hypocritical of progressives.

Just because you say it is happening, doesn't mean it is.

Nope, being white or black isn't a talent.

Having different visions certainly is helpful (although not a talent) and hiring someone less qualified because he is of a different background (or quota) isn't the right way to do anything.

But sure, let me just throw away all the studies that show how diversity is beneficial.  

Facts have a well known liberal bias.

On the privilege of not being rapped I would like to point that in Brazil you are 10x more likely to be killed as a man than a woman, but apparently our society is misogynist.

Yes, this was a point I made in my post.  Glad you agree.  

 

These things are complicated issues.  Pretending they don't exist is incorrect.  Deciding not to do anything about it, is not a solution.  I'd rather try out a solution, and trash it if it doesn't work or even goes the other way ("reverse racism", whatever that is), but not trying isn't a solution. 

Personally, I'm concerned about all kinds of issues.  Men's rights just as well as Women's rights.  People need to stop acting like those two things are incompatible.  

Nope. I'm going by the definitions of those words and appling them universally.
