Academy takes historic action to increase diversity — Page 18

Plus he's making up the figures, pulling them out of his butt.

they reason everything works out so well in your points, Dave, is because it's hypothetical. Those of us in the real world, including the Motion Picture Academy, know a concerted effort needs to be undertaken in order to effect change. Which everybody but you agrees needs to happen.

Oh, so now you're switching your argument from "I don't see color, only talent." to "It isn't fair that 50% of blacks are hired."

No. Like I said:

The only reason I am bringing this up is to give you a reality check. I am not the one complaining about it.

Is it fair? No. One could wonder what is the reason behind it. Some kind of pressure for mandatory black casting getting out of hand or black people being enormously more talented. Either way, complaining at this point in time is a little out of place. To say the least.

Let's get to the core of your ill minds.

You can accuse anybody of whatever you want and that goes vice versa.

But the fact is that only 12% of the population is black. And percentages are the only fair thing to look at here.

This does NOT mean that when a role is cast 8 times, 1 time it has to be black. That mindset is racist.

What is DOES mean, is that each and every time a role is cast, and let's say a 100 people come to audition, means that each person only has a 1% chance at the role. Without any race factor involved.

So even if they invite a diverse selection that mirrors society, there is still per definition an almost 90% chance the role gets to someone that is not black, because 90% of people are not black.

Now, demanding that a certain amount of roles or awards should go to black people is disgusting, to say the least. And very, very racist, to demand certain privileges for certain races.

So, without even looking at race, and just following nature and the law of probability, it is very rare that a black person gets a role (unless it matters for the story) . So how on earth is it possible that such a high percentage of roles nowadays are cast black? This is a reality check for you. I don't complain. I just like to see a little less ingratitude for such extreme privileges. Because clearly, something is making the percentages very crooked.

Of course this goes for every minority.

^I know it's early but I nominate that for post of the year.

Racist!

"Some kind of pressure for mandatory black casting getting out of hand ..."


I don't think "mandatory" means what you think it means. Because there ain't anything close to quotas in casting. AND STOP MAKING UP PERCENTAGES OUT OF THIN AIR.

THIS is my favorite post of the day.

And if 100 people auditioning is 100%, 1 person is 1%. I can't make it easier for you.

Why don't you make it easier on all of us and just step away from your keyboard....

Thank you!

I don't think Dave will concede anything and that this thread will go on until we all stop.

What do you cast? Where do you cast it? What race are you? How many times did you whack off to this thread today?

If 100 people would audition for a role, including me, I would only have a 1% chance.

Where TF do you get this? Do you think casting is done by raffle? You do NOT know what you are talking about.
