And this, in a nutshell, is what's wrong with your entire theory of DEI.

"Inclusion" is not an inherently political concept. When little kids play together, pretty much everyone gets included unless there is something wrong with a kid's behavior. Nobody accuses the kids of being "PC." That's just how people are.

Inclusion only becomes political in the face of exclusion. Exclusion is a learned behavior, and it's political by nature. Exclusion says, "you are part of our group and you over there are not." It's exclusion that is creating the problem.

So to say that minority representation "politicizes" confuses cause and effect. The exclusion is what's political. It's because you people fight inclusion that it's political. Inclusion itself is a natural human instinct.

If it weren't for right-wing racism, sexism, etc., inclusion wouldn't be seen as political at all. It would just be the way things are.

for the 2nd time, the original little mermaid didn't have a certain look or ethnicity. hans christian andersen described her as having "eyes as blue as the deepest see." no mention of hair or skin color.

"olive skinned hispanic woman"..... zegler's grandmother immigrated from colombia in the 60's and her father is polish. she's a 3rd generation american. i mean, look at this woman. she looks like snow white. this is really getting tedious, you've jumped the shark here even moreso than usual.

I haven't seen the movie, but that shot looks like there's a light on her face... or they whitened her up for the role:

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."

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..."

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​



IMG_5964.jpeg

“… 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.

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. …”
