That's the closest I've heard thus far to someone confronting such a moronic question with "How fricking stupid are you to think this is a worthwhile question?" After that, the reporter just needs to be hammered over and over with how ridiculous the question is.

This sort of thing isn't going to stop until the people being interviewed become willing to consistently push back on that silliness.




And thus we see the entire point of the dishonest framing.

Danish-Reporter:"Are you worried about the conundrum that *Parasite*, with an all-South Korean cast, might be eligible for Best Picture in Hollywood, but an all-Nordic cast might not be, 'cause of their new inclusion rules, even though they both have the same level of diversity?"


That is messed up. A 100% asian cast is seen as diverse, but a 100% caucasion cast is not.

Nah, you seem and likely are demented because your game is up. No one buys into you sick BS.
There is no "alternative" history. It's called "Fiction" for a reason.
Fiction is a creative work, chiefly a narrative work, portraying individuals, events, or places that are imaginary or in ways that are imaginary. Fictional portrayals are thus "inconsistent with fact, history, or plausibility." I suggest you get a grasp on the meaning of "alternative" as both a noun and an adjective.

Yeah, confirmed broken.

All I did was correct your incorrect statement about fiction and then point out you went off the deep end. No "sick BS"

Bridgerton is fiction, my dude.

Yes, you're explaining how they are set in alternative histories. Thank you.

The diversity in Bridgerton has the same suspension of disbelief a typical action movie or superhero movie requires.

Well, it’s not like they can rest on their own achievements. Thus, they have to try to steal from others.

OK. Good point.

Maybe the reporter wasn't so dumb but the bigger point is that having a diversity requirement is idiocy.

I don't know about this particular reporter but we all know that many out there stand by this idiotic policy.

So you are correct that this is not the problem I thought it was. It's a bigger and worse problem. Thanks.

That show to used to show a good bit of white redneck frickery

The black guys would just run.

The white redneck would try and talk himself out of whatever it was just to have a pound of weed fall out of the back seat.

If you have to edit the quote or give a poor attempt at a paraphrase to get a point across, you have no point.

I watched a documentary about the KKK last week. This is getting ridiculous.

Is that really any worse than Warner Oland (Swedish) playing Charlie Chan?



...or Christopher Lee (English) playing Fu Manchu?



I submit that Oland and Lee are far worse as they're masquerading as Orientals, whereas Jodie Turner-Smith isn't trying to be white.

The entire goal with these BS movies is to convince the young idiots that what they see in these films is historical fact. They aren't taught real history in schools. It's just another step in the globalist erasure of history.
