I like to watch the 1985 recording of Queen at live aid, because the performance is phenomenal. In this video, there are plenty of wide and tight shots of the crowd. I may have missed some, because I wasn't looking for it specifically, but I don't recall seeing a single non-white person in the crowd shots. This was a concert in London in 1985 that primarily featured acts more associated with white fans, so this is the natural result (if the same concert was held today, I assume the crowd would look different). I saw a link for the version made for the film Bohemian Rhapsody, and every crowd shot had multiple minorities in it. We're not talking about a historic event, or even something that was recorded historically in the near past, but which no footage exists. This is an event where you can watch the actual thing on youtube easily. It was very distracting because you could watch the original video back to back with the remake, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Im also black and me and most my family cant stand when they put a new black character in a role because they either make them lgbt or if its a girl they make her a narcissistic, smug, know it all. We also notice how even though theres more diverse movies theres less strong black men in them which is not accidental if you are so adamant about representation. The people who still run Hollywood and media are still mostly white so there aint know way theyre doing this without some sort of agenda in place. I think theyre mainly trying to polarize their viewers as well as brainwash future demographics.

Inclusion doesn't must mean hiring minorities, it means hiring woke minorities. If someone isn't speaking from an "authentic black voice" for example, that candidate will not be hired. Organizations that allow woke marxists in can expect said marxists to do what marxists do, agitate for revolution. No concessions made to marxists in an organization will ever considered to be "enough", and are instead seen as an exploitable weakness to turn the institution more woke. Disney is clearly in the end stage of a marxist entryism campaign in these last few years.

Apparently both time periods were more diverse and multicultural than the present day. Now, I get that they’re comedies (although I didn’t even smile at any of the ‘jokes’), but in the past, say with Maid Marian and her Merry Men, the fact that there was a Rastafarian character was clearly a joke. Kids instinctively got that. Now, they’re trying to rewrite history as they wish it had been and a whole generation will grow up with these kinds of lies as their vision of the past. It’s propaganda; it’s brainwashing under the guise of being ‘kind’ and ‘inclusive’. I find it deeply disturbing and I don’t see anyone in the entertainment industry brave enough to stop it.

And BAFTA’s gave “All Quiet on the Western Front” ever award and it won the most awards for a Netflix film at the BAFTA’s, and the Oscars. It almost won best picture at the Oscars. So Hollywood is entirely full of shit.

This alone doesn't explain the abandonment of tried and true busines practices like audience segmentation. A lot of their products lately seem completely mistargeted.

One of the biggest reasons why modern games fail is because of the live service mentality, and this suicide squad game is another victim of the live service trash, because you need to not only have a really good game but you need to hit your stride with plenty of content to keep people coming back for months until your next content drop. But how they are managed leads to people being burned out really quickly with a mediocre buggy game that’s permanently online and tbh that’s how they constantly shoot themselves in the foot and cripple the perception of the game and its quality.

What does culture has to do with any of it? According to the biology textbooks I was schooled by, when humans left sub Saharan Africa and settled in different places with different environments, through natural selection they evolved to have different physical traits, most prominent of which is skin color. It has nothing to do with culture, it's pure biology. If you take a black baby and raise them in Finland, what, will their skin get white? Claiming race has anything to do with culture is the epitome of racism, it's exactly the same as saying "black people are not those with black skin, it's those who do drugs and rap". No, black skin is race, doing drugs and rap is culture, and saying they're one and the same is the most racist thing you can say. Also by your logic where "race = culture" do you mean a black guy is a good pick to play Napoleon as long as he was born and raised in France? This is exactly what those Netflix guys would say to excuse such casting.

@@AlainNavasDrama No, it's you who try to boil everything down to one category when you say race and culture is the same category, I say exactly the opposite: race and culture are separate categories and it doesn't just boil down to "black = likes rap". A redhead Irish person is culturally different from a redhead Scandinavian person, but that has nothing to do with them both being redheads. They're two perpendicular categories, you can be Irish and redhead, Irish and not redhead, Scandinavian and redhead, or Scandinavian and not redhead. But when they say "we need a redhead actor to play this character and your hair is brown" you can't go on rant how they blanketed all redheads together and an Irish redhead is different from Scandinavian redhead, and they're ignoring your redhead-cultured heritage because you grew up in Ireland among redheads. It's Irish culture, not freaking redhead culture, what would that even mean? And the same way there's no such a thing as "black culture" which heritage they ignore by calling you white. They call you white because that's the color they perceive your skin to be, and its not their job to care which country your parents came from as that has no effect on your fitness for the role, but your appearance does. Imagine a dialogue like this: A: This German guy I know is super tall. B: How super tall are we talking about? I know an Italian guy who's 1m95cm, is that German friend of yours the same? A: No, he's not the same at all, he likes sausages and doesn't like pizza! B:: I didn't ask about his food preferences, I asked about his height. A: Wow you racist, you want to boil everything down to a blanket term like tall or small, totally ignoring how a German tall person is way different from an Italian tall person. This is absurd. When you start to talk about culture when the question was about race, you're doing the same as this "A" guy who starts talking about food when the question was about height. Saying race is only biology equals to "black or white only describes the color of your skin, and has nothing to do with what you do with your life, a black person can be a gangster and a white person can be a gagster, a black person can be a scientist and a white person can be a scientist, it's not connected in any way". Saying on the contrary that race is culture equals to "wtf black scientist, there can be no such thing, he betrayed black culture, he's Oreo, only looks black but white inside".
