Disney’s Diversity Policies Under Federal Scrutiny Amid Trump’s Crackdown

Ban the mouse from the property.

 

I hate that mouse.

Snow woke and the 7 vertically challenged, non-binary persons. I wonder why the public are not too keen on this; as for the “Star” Rachel Zegler, she claimed the Disney original was politically retrograde, seemingly missing the point that it is an eighty five year old cartoon.

There are many 'invidious' posts here if one is a maga and does not subscribe to the leftist point of view. I feel that my rights are invidiously disrespected and I wish for the moderators to take an un-invidious approach to curtail the invidious leftists... 😉      lór lên -->  ล้อเล่น

Disney employing a diversity of staff that mirrors the diversity of the general population.

 

 

 

That's not always the case. Sometimes diversity is used..... just because.

We're all interchangeable (unless tickbox needed).

We're all winners if we just believe!

I notice you truncated my post to quote me out of context.

 

Perhaps you aren’t able to deal with the argument I made. It seems so.

Wow... a diversity of general population is quite an overreach.. With less than 10% being in the DEI category in all of the US. 

You clearly don’t understand diversity in populations.

 

Moreover you thought you’d announce your ignorance on the matter to the internet.

There’s no such thing as ‘the best people for the job’.

 

There’s always a range of skills, qualifications and experiences that suit jobs and different candidates have a different balance of these.

 

 

 

 

 

 

You've clearly never gone through a sourcing, screening, shortlisting and then interviewing process to hire people.

 

There are very clearly "the best people for the job" and their religion, sex, race, sexual preferences etc. should not be factors in making the final decision. 

 

If they are, you end up in Disney's current predicament.

Discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion and national origin is illegal in America.

To correct your baseless claims, I absolutely have, on many occasions over many years and in many different parts of the world.

 

I’ve also applied my employer’s positive discrimination policies wrt hiring veterans, almost always not the highest qualified candidate and frequently with little or no directly applicable experience, but often working out as very good hires.

 

I’ve also seen a number of cases in which very highly qualified candidates turned out to be hopeless at the job.

 

I have a feeling you yourself have little if any experience of hiring professional staff.

In film roles of course there are those that are best suited.

 

A white woman for Snow White, a male as James Bond, a male as Batman, a female as Wonder Woman, a female as Cat woman.

 

There are occasions when the title tole name and the history and culture of such leads to a specific profile.

 

It's not racist to cast a white woman as Snow White. It's not sexist to cast as male as Batman. It's not sexist to cast a woman as Wonder Woman.

I don’t recall saying any of those things are racist.

 

Please quote me if I did.

I wasn't talking about hiring a local maid to do the laundry at some cheap condo in Cambodia, nevertheless I am glad you'd never be in a senior enough position to interview and discriminate against someone like me given your support of discriminatory hiring practices against white men.

Yes you have made it clear on many occasions you support discrimination in hiring practices. I wouldn't be bragging about it if I were you, it's really not very nice.

We are a rapidly growing business so I personally interview and hire at least 4 staff for my team per year. I always select the best person for the job, irrespective of their skin colour, sex, religion etc. Perhaps that's why (unlike you) I never employ candidates who turn out to be hopeless at the job. I do hope this didn't result in your Che Guivara hat shrinking in the wash.

The couple of members on this forum who know me personally will find that nonsense very amusing.

Disney's latest flop Snow 'Off' White proves just that. It's great to see. 

If they made an 'unwoke' version of Snow White, you'd be first in the queue, bristling with thoughts of supreme righteousness whilst sitting thro a kids movie ?

From the list of your replies with insults. You clearly take this personal and do not understand DEI. 

There are only 9% of the LGBT population+++++++ in the USA. 

Also, when companies use this DEI to hire less-skilled or lower quality workers just to fill a DEI requirement. The people who deserve the positions and earned it as well as being more qualified, are left unemployed. DEI needs to be ended. Wokeism as well.

People with qualifications and skills do not remain unemployed.

 

But I’m willing to review any links to credible reports of DEI policies giving rise to unemployment in any sector of the workforce.

Please post what you have.

Uh, no.........responded to the salient point, where you stated "There’s no such thing as ‘the best people for the job’."

 

Of course "There’s always a range of skills, qualifications and experiences that suit jobs and different candidates have a different balance of these."

 

That means people not same-same.

Not every individual has the same abilities and skills.

Thus not everyone is equally capable.

That's why we hire the best, not those that merely check the tickboxes for equity and diversity.

 

Shirley, you understand that much!

 

When you need brain surgery, do you look for the best, most experienced doctor you can afford irregardless of race, religion, or sexual proclivities? 

 

Or do you limit your choices to doctors that pass your woke filter set to "non-binary, lesbian, Muslim, transsexual, deaf. paraplegic of colour" because their "lived experiences" are so much more important that their surgical skills?

It might be argued that the Olympic Games finds the best, after countless completions and heats to identify contenders.

But please, give up this nonsense that ‘the best’ show up at interviews for every job.

More recently, Disney’s Snow White remake rewrite struggled at the box office and faced backlash over its diversity-focused casting choices.

When Disneyland opened in CA. it was a perfect place for fulfilling kids wildest dreams. Now those kids and maybe a few of their kids are driving a spike through the heart of it's founder's intentions. Calling Prince Charming a stalker for Christs sake.

AND, just for the record Woke Disney, Peter Pan is a boy. His name's "Peter" and NOT "Peter Pumper" for a reason.

Tarantino, Lynch, Coppola, Stone etc. are more up my street.
