Yeah it's good but companies are always trying to finesse it by turning entry level positions into internships for free work or requiring experience for an internship just so that they can save money

This isn't to empower black people but to soothe white guilt

QFT

An organization that selects Green Book for Best Picture is incapable of good decision making.

I feel like making the Oscar Voters Board/Guild/whatever YOUNGER instead of having super old Mf'rs doing the voting would change things without having to introduce these weird rules.

I think forced diversity is gross and easy to spot. That being said, watching some of these 50s-70s movies can be tough trying to tell apart 6 different middle aged white dudes.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding correctly, but does point A3 mean that a movie centered around a straight white male is ineligible for best picture?

Forced inclusion isn’t always the smoothest way of doing things, but I think sometimes the push is necessary to create real change down the road.

The Academy is a huge voice in Hollywood and has been a part of the problem for a long time, but it’s good to see them try to make an effort. Something like this can go a long way.

Hollywood has been racist forever and continues to be very racist in a lot of the same ways it has always been. Something like that isn’t going to change on its own unless the rules are changed. You can’t just count on studio execs just being good people all of a sudden. That’s never going to happen.

It’s not about what this is going to do to Hollywood in the next couple years. It has everything to do with what the film industry can be 10 to 20 years from now after more POC have been in those spaces for some time and these guidelines are no longer needed.

Also every time something like this happens, opposition to it makes the same argument that this will promote tokenism and lead to under qualified people getting hired.

We’ll ignore the underlying racism there that implies that black/POC candidates are as whole typically under qualified for many positions they seek and focus on the fact that many white people working in Hollywood are under qualified and only have their positions thanks to nepotism or a perceived potential/talent that is rarely applied to young people of color in the film business.

This is so f***ing stupid lmao. Who thought this was a good idea
