Lena Dunham: Hollywood Should Have More Minorities Like My Own Show Doesn'tSuper white girl on super white show watched by super white audience thinks you gotta have more diversity. In case you missed it, Hollywood is letting more people into the Academy to boost diversity. Also, they'll be purging old white people. No really. They'll be making sure you've been active in the business within the last ten years, or else you forfeit your Academy membership. I can kind of see some sense in that. A lot of years lame movies win the Oscars, and it's because a lot of old people, who aren't very current at all, decided that they should make Out of Africa the winner because it was directed by someone whose name they recognize. Still... I don't know. This woman, who did the costumes for The Deer Hunter, is arguing against the new diversity rules. Our job is to evaluate talent and excellence. But now your actions have added a new, unspoken category -- the "what is your ethnicity" category. This, unfortunately, comes with the ugly subtext that if you don't vote for a person of color you are a racist. Excellence is rewarded regardless of ethnic background. I support these rules for a simple reason: Liberal institutions have long ignored the onerous, stupid rules they inflict on everyone else. They don't realize how bad these rules are, because they except themselves. Thus we get super-white Vox arguing about other companies not hiring enough minorities. It's time that they lived under their own rules. Period. If they have a change of heart after living under the regime they'd force on everyone else, so much the better. Open Thread. Sorry, gotta run. Plans. | Recent Comments
