'DEI Is Garbage': Mamet Stomps Woke Hollywood

“DEI is garbage. It’s fascist totalitarianism,” Mamet told Brennan. His memoir, which was published last fall, tells his life story in a series of anecdotes — and follows his political metamorphosis as well. Mamet refers to himself as a “red diaper baby,” the child of two communists — and details how he made the journey from the far Left to his current position: supporting former President Donald Trump.

The award-winning playwright and screenwriter — whose works include “Glengarry Glen Ross,” “The Untouchables,” and “Hannibal” — also took issue with the new “inclusion standards” that have been implemented by the Academy of Motion Pictures, noting that for films to even be considered for awards, they had to check certain boxes according to DEI standards.

“I can’t give you a stupid f***ing statue unless you have 7% of this, 8% of that,” Mamet complained. “It’s intrusive.”

The Pulitzer committee at Columbia U may want to retract Mamet's award. He's speaking too much truth. The Columbia elites prefer the Walter Duranty model of "truthiness," ie, pandering to totalitarians and terrorists in the guise of reporting or literature.
