'Male and Pale is Stale'?

A few weeks ago, Film Threat revealed that the Writers Guild now required all members to identify their race with molecular precision, and also categorize themselves as to their exact sexuality, their exact “gender expression,” their exact level of neurodivergence and mental illness, and on and on and on.

And they’re requiring this to “aid in the hiring process” — that is, when TV shows are looking for writers, they want to only hire non-white/non-straight/non-male pyrsyns, and the Writers Guild is eagerly assisting them in this racial/sexual discrimination.

Since then, white writers who are now unemployable — and other Hollywood professionals similarly now without work due to the New Racism — have written to Film Threat.

Anonymously, of course. If these emails are connected to anyone’s public identity, they would literally never work again.

[This explains a lot about the quality of entertainment these days. You can still find well-made and interesting films and shows, but increasingly they’re limited to the Nostalgia section. Just a few years ago, the demand to reveal ethnicity in the hiring process would have been prima facie evidence of unlawful discrimination. — Ed]
