Diversity hiring is a divisive, racist and sexist practice that lowers standards.
I disagree on the importance of "seeing yourself" on tv and in film. That is not important. If "yourself" is you skin color or gender or sexuality, than that is what you need to deal with. That is the issue. "Yourself" i.e. your Identity should have very little to do with those things. It's about your nature, your family, your interests, your religion perhaps, your opinions, your way if speaking, reacting, caring and so on.
Even that "Yourself" is not all that important to have represented on the screen. Nobody would want to see me or Lenny Henry or perhaps Jo Brand in a Rambo kind of film. So fiction (including adds) should have exactly who the director or writer sees in his head. If he is a Wokeist, he will probably want to put in a specific type to placate and earn brownie points, but in the long run, as fashionable city-politics change, that will damage his credibility, and the loss of revenue will lessen his succes. Believe me, you don't want to see yourself on the screen. If the fiction is good enough, you can identify with anything - even a Brave Little Toaster.
Agreed
Go with the opposite. If setting yourself in film it’s important, we need less minority representation in film. If your story is in the Nordic woods, there are zero minorities there AND those people need to see themselves. If your story is about intact Family units, then you should see less African Americans, because they exist less as well. The white Americans are far more numerous, their stories need to be heard too. The entire premise is false, it’s just a racist wedge that white Americans are too polite to say no to.
I couldn't stand Oscar winning film parasite because of its lack of diversity and no one looked like me!
I consider Denzel Washington one of the absolute greats, I have seen everything he has ever done. Little did I know that my “identifying” with his characters was an illusion, after all he has more melanin in his skin than me, so it couldn’t possibly have been real.
I’m so glad the woke cleared that up for me. I will stick with identifying with straight white people from now on.
I’ve never ever once worried that I might be gay. Not for a single second.
Suggesting it’s weird to know you aren’t gay is one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard.
I agree, I was surprised he said that. I've never had that thought ever. Even thinking about it now makes me feel queasy.
I agree, if you are you know, if you're not it never enters your thoughts.
He's one of those calming but 'right on' personalities. I'd love to go on holiday with Darren Grimes. I bet he'd be terrific company. He's so relaxed, polite, engaged and articulate. Thanks for interviewing him and bringing out the best of him.
I've never uderstood this idea of "respresentation". As if because there are white people in the houses of parliment I am therefore somehow represented. Even your own MP doesn't represent you. It's just bizarre that I should somehow feel represented because someone that has a similar skin colour is somewhere, doing something - isn't that a racist concept?
exactly so why is this boy worrying about not seeing a white family in adverts?
@MaxwellPennyweather no i agree.
needing to see representation, or having popular cultrue exactly match demographics is dumb.
so why is grimes crying about not seeing a family that is all white.
why does it matter to him that his race and family background is represented in popular culture.
he is against the need to be represented, innit.
@@alansouthall8221 he makes his own point. He says that if you start to skew one way or the other it will impact opportunities for one group or another. I'd imagine he'd opt for a meritocratic system, not optimise for coverage of skin colour. The country is about 85% white you know its not even represented fairly (if that was your system of choice), it also perpetuates race ideology, and this kind of woke victimisation. You have to have a system and a way of prioritisation, but skin colour aint the one; this one just happen to be racist by its own definition. I don't think it's a challenging concept.
@@armstrong698 well either he can say that representation doesn't matter, or he can be concerned about not seeing a representative number of white families in adverts. but he can't do both without contradicting himself.
and population is only one metric.
black musicians have had a disproportionate impact on musical innovation. black sportsmen a disproportionate impact on sport.
and these things tie heavily into popular culture, fashion, youth culture and cultural norms and icons.
so we might expect black people to be over represented in popular culture just by the nature of the success of black artists and sportsmen.
ultimately i agree notions of representation are dumb. which is why i couldn't care less if white people are over or under represented in fucking tv adverts 🤣
@@alansouthall8221 it's not either or is it. The fact is, you're not represented because someone shares the same skin colour. Skin colour != representation and if that's your optimiser its both in efficient and racist. He never said matter or doesn't matter in all cases, in all arguments.
You might say that black musicians and black sportsmen are there by merit, and that's fine, but perhaps what isn't is the manufacture of these groups through a false veil of representation. This fabrication ultimately is discrimination. Something you either believe is bad or you don't.
I think the larger point of TV adverts is more around the steady march of this way of thinking which should be combatted, and they're calling our the flaws and inconsistencies of their own arguments. It's the same thinking that leads to the RAF saying they dont want any useless white men - you know the men that historically and currently fill, almost exclusively, all military combat posts. It doesn't matter anyway because DEI is dying on its feet.
Andrew,you are 199% wrong about all/ most men wonder if thyre gay at some point.
That thought never ever ever ever not once has crossed my mind.
Im not bragging or trying to act " macho" but I find this statement ridiculous Andrew.
Same here but maybe it's generational? I was born 1975 and it never crossed my mind. We didn't talk about sexual preferences. (Edit: especially not before bloody children! At 11 I probably thought it was only Boy George and Freddy Mercury!)
It’s better for you to let the gay thoughts flow freely. Suppressing them will impact your mental health.
@@Bantu1875 yeah,hear that?
I was sexually abused by my father until i was 11 in the 80s
I oddly didn't suffer the worry of my sexuality, i just suffered in numerous other ways
However, i understand what you meant
Glad to be followed by Yemen.
I am 62 and don’t ever remember thinking I might be gay ! However that doesn’t mean I ever considered what it mean’t to people who appeared to be gay themselves. This kind of thought process just never was a thing for me and my so-called friendship group. I think it is important to not try and normalise homosexuality as such, because doing so can in itself create confusion unnecessarily, which would and has lead to the tragic stories coming out of the Tavistock nightmare.
Curious that this vid has been out for 6 hours and has soo few views and comments, like YT is throttling it.
What is more shallow than needing people who look a certain way (like you, me or anyone) in certain positions? There's no more destructive idea in a multiracial country. Our ancestors would have called it a sin called 'racialism'.
no, its not normal to worry about being gay, and neither is thinking it would be a terrible thing.
Darren's the guy who threw Dr David Starkey under the bus, isn't he?
Bloke in the blue suit talked a lot of sense. As did the interviewer.
W T F Ive never thought to myself I’m I gay …..
13:57 and it's still not good enough to some people
Urgh, Darren Grimes! Shudder.
