VIDEO: Mark Steyn & Tucker Carlson on the Oscars' diversity quotas

In "A 'Publicity Stunt' or a 'Huge Step'? Hollywood Is Divided on the Oscars' New Diversity Rules"Time reports on the Academy of Motion Picture Arts' latest ploy in the SJW struggle to diversify (read: dewhiten/emasculate) "the white- and male-dominated film industry." This week the Academy released its new "inclusion standards" (read: rules) for films seeking a Best Picture nomination at the Academy Awards. 

Starting in 2024, if you hope to win the Biggest Oscar, your film will have to meet the standards of two out of four broad groups of criteria laid out in a 1000-word memo: representation onscreen (addressed in Standard A), behind the camera (B) and in audience development (D); and pipelines for young, marginalized talent (C). The new guidelines (read:rules) are supposed to correct the "underrepresentation of people of color, women, LGBTQ+ and people with disabilities." 

Time goes on to say that "the announcement received backlash on social media, particularly from right-wing circles." The new rules, these horrible racists and Republicans say, will stifle creativity and/or promote "tokenization". As if we don't already see that in all the meeja, for example Hockey Night in Canada's sudden hiring of Anthony Stewart, who joined former NHL stars Kelly Hrudey and Kevin Bieksa on its panel of studio analysts, just in time for the NHL playoffs and the surge of tokenism in response to the BLM protests. Follow the link to his bio to see why he's obviously a diversity hire. [This example contributed by Poor Len Canayen. Ed.]

Time quotes actor and director Justine Bateman as saying "Honestly, I never want to be hired for these reasons. Ever!" And Kirstie Alley, who called the new rules "disgrace to artists everywhere". In this conversation with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, Mark Steyn points out that under these "guidelines", you could make a film about the "New Black Panthers", because they are almost 100% white (!) yet you'd have to cast black people in something like 30% of the secondary roles. You couldn't make this stuff up!
