Academy Awards weren't diverse enough this year for Jesse Jackson. I
always thought that the writers, cast, crew, etc. were picked for their
ability to do a good job and earn money for the company producing the
film. I wasn't aware until this year that we should have had quotas, or
counted the number of people of each race who participated in the
making of a film. Thanks for that, Jesse. I'll be sure to count all
the people in every film I see from now on to make sure that proper
percentages are represented. Maybe the races and ethnicities of the
producers, directors, cast, and crew should be listed in the credits to
ensure that we are going to see diverse films. Films are rated for
violence, language, and sexual content. Maybe we should be working on a
diversity score so you would know instantly whether or not the film you
were seeing is appropriately diverse. And now, the Emmys aren't
diverse enough, even though the two women nominated for best actress are
both black." . . . Read more
