If you think there aren't enough African representation in your movies, you should watch African movies. The same for Asians. And Europeans. What it does, is that it actually helps to make these actors and films known and financially viable and we get more of them. Or why not go watch women-focused films, instead of ones that were just gender swapped. If you think of the new Star Wars films, Rey was really shitty character, but Rogue One had Jyn who was excellent. |
A lot of the same stuff would exist with or without the alleged "diversity quotas".
A lot of these alleged quotas are illegal even:
According to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, it’s illegal to consider any single candidate’s or employee’s race — even with the intention of creating a more diverse, equitable, or inclusive workforce — in any employment decision. Employers can’t create de facto hiring quotas (e.g., “50% of the employees hired in this department must be women”), or “reserve seats” for employees from certain groups, even in the interest of diversity.
