Sick of diversity being forced

I had to listen to my black friend literally yell about how white people oppressed black people in America for 200 years. Didn’t even let me speak on the fact that the English oppressed the Irish and Scottish for a thousand fucking years. Like, dude. Fuck off. You’re struggles are cool. Are mine not? It is racist to not acknowledge other cultures struggles based off color?

Same, especially when it just has no relevance to the plot. Like when they change a character's race that is literally supposed to be a different race. For example, making a Danish character black. Or if they have a movie that's set in like the 1800s in Britain and you've got like 10 black people, when back then there just WOULDN'T be many black people in that area, it takes me out of the movie when I notice those inconsistencies and factual errors.

I agree to a certain extent. I kinda see it as a great thing because we get new perspectives from cinema coming from characters that never used to be front and centre.
I can think of an example, I saw a movie called triangle of sadness recently and the Filipino character was one I’d never seen on screen before and it was really refreshing, shining a light on OFW’s (Overseas Filipino Workers).
When I grew up the western world would not have a character like this being so central to the films plot, executives had a narrow minded view that films needed white lead males to make money, which was somewhat true for the time but only because people were conditioned by that. That was actually forced upon us too, then.

Richard Dreyfuss recently had some very good criticisms for the Oscar diversity crapolla.

"Oscars' new diversity standards 'make me vomit'"
-Richard Dreyfuss.

right now, i'd kill for a big fat blind gay guy just so long as we could get some damn decent posts around here!!!

An Asian Austin Powers is something I need in my life but also something I would be scared of being introduced to my life. xD

I would watch the hell out of Chinese Austin Powers

i was just sayin that to my obese quadriplegic transsexual lesbian ethiopian-filippino-chilean friend the other day

Me too. White and proud. Diversity is a false God. If Nazi Germany had won, we wouldn't be dealing with this shit. We'd be experiencing real progress rather than regression masquerading as progress that plebs are too dumb to recognize.

Pandering shit like forced diversity is actually incredibly racist and offensive. I’m sure no matter ones race they’d want to be somewhere on their own merits.

I'd say that it should apply to all violent crimes or crimes with intentional victims. If you come to a country, start punching their citizens, then you should be removed from that country as the natives shouldn't be expected to endure such treatment, especially if the tax payer money, funded by their victims, is being used to fund their life in your country.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying, you're being concise with your position, I just don't think we agree on what should be done. :)

Sorry, I wasn't specifically referring to immigrants in my post but citizens born and raised, that the Left catches and releases criminals that are in their areas. I should have been more clear on that. That being said, the same applies for immigrants, it seems.

My view on immigration is that it's fine so long as it's controlled. Mass immigration absolutely should not be allowed, anything that can drastically change the culture and/or cultural attitudes of the native people's lands should not be condoned, and quite frankly should be seen as an attack on the nation by whichever political party that continues mass immigration to that effect.

As for deportation. I'd say that if you're an immigrant of a country for ten years and commit a felony or a crime akin to felony, then you are immediately deported. If you've committed 2-3 misdemeanours within 5 years, Deported. No re-entry.

I personally don't believe immigrants should be given a second chance after they breach these conditions because it's not the native people's responsibility to bare. We shouldn't have to pay our tax payers money for these people that took it upon themselves to make life harder for the natives of the country, nor should they have to deal with the insecurity of being around these people in fear of being their next victim if they suddenly believe they're above the law.
Hopefully with this in place we can have more room for criminals in our prisons that are natives which we are responsible for as a country and can't just throw on to others. Take responsibility for our own, relinquish responsibility to those that are immigrants (That break the law).

Something serious being committed five times is way too much in my opinion, just once is enough. Instead of one person getting molested, we allow that person to go on and molest four more before we decide enough is enough? I reject that. Once is enough. If you decide to come to a country and inflict harm on the residents of a country then you are an enemy of that country and should be deported. I've seen too many stories now of women being paralyzed with fear going to their local convenient store because an immigrant that raped her and trafficked her got out on good behaviour or because they weren't treated as the filth they are. They came to her community, raped her, and now they share the same produce isle to get their shopping while they laugh at her. Laugh. I say no to that.

Yeah, I understand your perspective and it makes sense, I just disagree with it which is absolutely fine, we're both exploring our views and opening ourselves up for criticism for a chit-chat. You're not coming across as an asshole in the slightest, nor have you ever while being on this site from my experience. :)

Diversity over merit isn't great

One day, I won't be around for it, but 100 years from now, USA is going to be giving compensation checks, (by then 2 or 3 million $) to all the illegal aliens and women forced acrossed the border by the slave and sex trafficking.

If you notice they are not going after those that did the slave trading 200 years ago, they just want to compensate those that might have a great great great great grandparent or relative that was involved as a slave. There were numerous countries involved in bringing and selling the slaves to the USA as well as other countries. The British, Spanish, even African countries captured slaves and sold them around the world.

Shouldn't we also have a white or Hispanic Black Panther movie?

I used to think the same but there's only so much I can watch before realizing that one side is actively making it harder to live in a safe society. Don't get me wrong, I don't blame you for your approach so don't think I'm trying to be patronizing, but have you seen how crazy it's gotten? Left wing areas have actually taken actions that make the problem worse, I'm not just saying this like "Oh the left say crime is okay!" but actual laws are influenced to let dangerous criminals back on the street that so many people from Left wing areas flee to areas more typically Right wing.

When you say there's no reason why we should be divided I agree with you on that but when we start investigating why we're divided on this issue you often find it's because the right want these criminals charged and held, taken away from the public, but the Left actually influence laws to put them back on the street. Sometimes we have to call a spade a spade instead of letting that spade dig our graves.

Yuuuup. Oh, California is looking to give black residents a million dollars each for reperations btw. Why put money towards current slavery prevention when you can just give free money to people that have made slavery their entire legacy without ever enduring it?

Oh, and in my country kids were trafficked as young as 13 and law enforcement blamed the kids because if they didn't they may get called racist.

Now I get that both the Left and the right have their bad points but if you want law and order and not bs progressive sentiment, look to the right.

Not sure anyone actually sees regular equality as racist. I think some people just didn't like tokenism, even if the token character was central or really well done. I'm not really one of them. It's one thing if it's a caricature, it's another thing if they're actually important and the only thing separating them from the rest of the cast is their sex or skin color.

I otherwise agree with you. One of my issues with the forced diversity is that many of the diverse characters actually ARE caricatures. You could almost argue that's realistic (I went to college on a diverse campus, and let me tell you, man, the stereotypes make themselves), but it doesn't do anyone any favors, especially when whoever represents you is still is a poorly done, minor character. The idea of a group of in-person friends having a full selection of each race also very rarely happens in real life.

It's probably more about the actors and spreading the millions around more types of people, but the final product has to be good, too.
