This whole "woke" and DEI thing is something only MAGA fuckwads care about. They care about it because they've been programmed to care about it. Some pathetic shit.

Yeah, it is ironic that the claim is Disney is making it political because from where I sit the ones who are making it political are the ones who care about it enough to complain.

That's because you don't understand their take on "Let the market decide."

No. I took exception to the unnecessary politicization of movie remakes.

Without using the terms, DEI, or Woke - complete the following sentence based on what you think Disney's end goal.

"Disney's purpose for diversifying the casts of its movies, including remakes is..."

And it's nothing new. It used to be "political correctness." They're just buzzwords to attack whatever current topics right-wingers don't approve of.

Similar to trans "issues" during the Presidential campaign. Harris and her campaign barely mentioned it, but Trump and right wing media were obsessed because they know it resonates with their bigoted base.
 
I've heard of Jasmine Crockett, but apparently had no idea "who" she is.

Yes, Jasmine....the key to preventing this inexcusable mistake is more melanin, a vagina and boobs.

I still think that the taxpayer funded prisoner sex change ad was a home run (or at least an extra base hit) for the Trump campaign. It aired constantly and it was just so cringe that I can imagine how lots of folks were like WTF! Kamala is for they/them. Trump is for you. Damn effective messaging IMO.
 

Trump Orders Removal of ‘Divisive Race-Centered Ideology’ From Smithsonian​

The executive order also sets the stage for the reinstatement of Confederate monuments​

“… The order said that the forthcoming American Women’s History Museum wouldn’t “recognize men as women in any respect,” suggesting the mention of transgender women would be prohibited.

… The executive order cites the National Museum of African American History and Culture as one of the organizations promoting divisive, race-based ideology. The museum was established by an act of Congress and approved by President George W. Bush. It opened in 2016.

The directive singled out an exhibit called “The Shape of Power: Stories of Race and American Sculpture,” featured at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

“The exhibit further claims that ‘sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism’ and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating ‘Race is a human invention,’” the executive order said.

The president’s order also calls for the interior secretary to determine whether any public monuments, memorials and statues within the agency’s jurisdiction were removed over the last five years to “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” or “any other improper partisan ideology.”

The secretary, Doug Burgum, will reinstate any such memorials determined to have been inappropriately removed, the order said. …”

Perpetuating "a false reconstruction of American history" is exactly why those statutes were built in the first place.

We have entered 1984 and the land of doublespeak.

“… Thus far, the review of Nimitz Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of the defense secretary’s verbal order.

According to a second defense official, they include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” and a biography on Jackie Robinson. …”

The article makes it pretty clear that there is a lot of uncertainty that needs to be cleared up. I would hope books that simply recognize important people/events in history aren't removed.

Thus far, the review of Nimitz Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of the defense secretary’s verbal order. According to a second defense official, they include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Einstein on Race and Racism,” and a biography on Jackie Robinson.

Mr. Hegseth is scheduled to visit the Naval Academy on Tuesday and to speak to the Brigade of Midshipmen. It is unclear whether the secretary expects the books to be removed before his arrival.

Defense officials said they were unaware whether the United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States Air Force Academy or the United States Coast Guard Academy had received similar orders, or whether the military’s graduate schools, such as the Naval War College and the Army’s Command and General Staff College, were expected to comply.
 
You would hope?

But I’d that turns out not to be the case…

Then what?

Where is your line in the sand?
