More diversity

[dryheat]

More lunacy.

-Additionally, companies would need to have, or explain why they do not have, “at least two diverse directors, including one who self-identifies as a woman and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ.”-

Hire me -- I self-identify as a transsexual Motoloni!

I'd estimate 3 out of 4 TV commercials have already put this edict into effect. Just watched a Geico comm. that featured 5 actors--3 "coloreds," 2 whites, perfectly representative of the US pop, of course.

Geico commercials used to be clever -- remember the "So simple a cave man could do it" series? Now I just flip to another channel.

Write a letter.

Write a letter.

Been thinking of doing that--want to find out if that white dork in another Geico com is getting the authentic jungle-love from the tar baby he's supposed to be co-habiting with--no white massas in HER pedigree!

when I first started working retail, some older folks still used the term colored,

I also worked with some folks that had a sense of humor, ,


so an old man came in one day and asked about that colored fellow that helped him previously,

my coworker asked what color was he? we have all colors here,



customer was not amused

It was the "polite" word everybody used to use; nobody, or damned few, said "Negro." NAACP, not NAANP, so evidently "they" didn't care for it either. Now it's almost become a banned word, like "homosexual."

"Colored person" has also been banned, but not "person of color," which can be heard many times everyday on TV. There's obviously (to libs) a huge difference--can you explain it?

Of course he could write a letter! but he knows and so do you.... it wouldn't do any good!

Cool. Let us know how it goes.

I like the idea of him wasting his time with infantile rage about having to see black people on TV.

Nothing like a good quarrel to quicken the pulse.

So somebody who's watched every episode of Amos & Andy half a doz times or more, & Sanford & Son about as many, Cabin in the Sky & Stormy Weather multiple times each, is enraged by seeing black people on TV? Social engineering crammed down viewer's throats, THAT is cause for rage.

You know Redd Foxx married Asian women. You would have hated the commercials too.
