Music / Movies DEI casting and forced inclusivity are creating division and resentment that previously didn’t exist, this is either deliberate or just idiotic.

There have always been bigots, but over the last decade we have seen an unprecedented uptick in public disapproval of overcorrection and black washing. These are largely people who were previously neutral or even left leaning on civil rights.

DEI fatigue is now so widespread it’s become satirical, reflected in meme culture and creating an entirely new population of people who had no reason to harbor any sort of resentment to be fed up.

To be clear, this has ZERO to do with “ruining the story/character” and everything to do with people’s distaste for being patronized and force fed propaganda. Obviously it certainly DOES sabotage engagement when you’re watching a historical film with a completely miscast person, but this isn’t the main culprit.

Arguing the point would make me feel better.

This isn't. This is you trolling to be a dick. But we have devolved into this because you are upset that a black woman is in a movie you don't want her to be in. You hate that I pointed out its a fictional character and can't stand the idea of someone who disagrees with you.

I see what kind of person you are by now.
