Didn’t we learn anything from the Sam Kerr saga ? You can’t be racist towards white guys remember!
Despite it being gbnews…
Does anyone actually wonder why so many white young males are being coerced by the right wing?
Must feel like you are fundamentally hated by your own country at this point? Armed forces don’t want you, massive companies telling they don’t want you, the bbc and itv saying they no longer want you…
Fuck being a white working class boy in this country
The HR department of the bank I work for recently had a big call about making sure we are hiring a more diverse range of people.
They said we need to lower the requirements for all roles such as skillset and experience to cast a wider net. It’s better to hire someone diverse with no experience or skills than promoting someone who has…for some reason.
60 minutes of tapdancing around not saying “no more white men”.
And they wonder why white men are becoming more right-wing.
Soon, they’ll be outbreaks of violence from these men, and it’ll be too late to stop it
This is what TV is now. The industry isn’t spending money getting the right people to make great programmes. They’re employing people based on their ethnic background (read: non-white) regardless of their skills.
And they’re making programmes all over the country with even lower-skilled people at great expense because the government has decided too much is made in London.
Does anyone *really* care that MOTD comes from Manchester? Or that Casualty is in Cardiff? Or House of Games is in Scotland? There are so many shows where a fortune is spent getting celebrities and crew to other parts of the country and it’s just money that then can’t be spent on-screen.
I think people would rather just have great content to enjoy.
Meanwhile Netflix, Amazon, Disney etc. don’t have to play these woke games. They employ the best people and make it in the best place (if that’s in the UK, mainly London) to get the best return for every pound they spend.
Maybe the labour shortage is people just don’t want to hire white men
Why wouldn’t a white man from a foster home in NE England be considered a diverse hire?
That’s alright, we don’t want to work for ITV shit hole either. Full of crack head journalists.
There were so many better ways to say this, and it’s telling that she thought this was OK to say in a room full of people. The pendulum has truly turned.
and liberals wonder why young white boys join extremist groups and have admiration for certain regimes from the past.
This is one of those examples of clear racism that when a white guy brings it up will be gaslit into saying that there isn’t any examples of racism against whites and that he’s just a right wing bigot for even thinking it.
Courts have in the past ruled that it is possible to discriminate against white men, so it’s not a ridiculous complaint.
Ethnic minorities seem pretty well represented in front of the camera, maybe slightly less so behind. Then you need to take into account the cohort effect and look at, say, the 2001 census for comparison. 23.3% onscreen and 13.9% offscreen in 2022.
The .R.A.F. now .I.T.V. I wonder who will be next to proudly state their racist hiring practises?
“This is how meritocracy dies, to diversity quotas”.
Ach yes “ITV the good racists” 😀 It always amuses me that you can yell shit like ‘we don’t want white men’ but if you swap white for black you are going to get arrested.
Just yesterday on a different forum there was a 175 thread post about why you can’t be racist to white people
Overwhelmingly people agreed.
This is the pendulum effect. Never settle in the middle. It’ll swing back eventually, that’s why far right groups are on the rise.
All white men should be shot. Was I being rude? Soz.
To be honest, it feels like i’m living in an african country with all the black people in the ads. Is like 90% of the ads features black people. When there is a white person, is usually a girl with a black guy as couple.
Not shocked by this new. There is a propaganda going on in these companies and we all act that is not.
People being hired based on skin colour sounds racist to me. But, hey, is white people! Who cares, right?
Eww, I clicked on it. It’s like stepping in dog shit – there should be a GB “News” ban on here
Unless you’re gay being white is not good for TV. We are not in a group that is interesting. We are too boring.
Shock horror!
Country that’s around 84% white has a lot of white people in jobs!
Asians make up around 8.5% and blacks about 3.5%. So a whopping 12%. Around 1/10 candidates…
Nobody should be judged on the colour of their skin, the current obsession with increasing representation and diversity in work places seems incredibly artificial and skewed.
Hire the best candidate, regardless of skin colour (or sex!) not the one that scores you the most brownie points or wins you some likes on social media.
I realise that this article is specifically about tv hosts, but the maths applies. In and around 40% of your audience will be white males. If the thought behind the “outburst” is that they want to speak to more viewers they’re actually ignoring a much much larger number in favour of appearing “progressive”.
lol, a gbnews post and every comment saying “waa you made us be nazis waa waa”. Jesus Christ. Learn some history, & grow up.
Rage bait for those who wish to be manipulated.
GBNews will say anything to get you pissed off.
And it’s a white woman. A big segment of our western bourgeoisie is comprised of people like her. They put whiteness at the centre of the universe and they equate it with oppression (slavery, racism, colonisation) so they can very publicly distance themselves from it in order to appear virtuous. They need every story, every narrative to include “whiteness” or other *bad* white people in order to care (see all the instances of oppression they ignore when there is no white villain that allows them to shine in comparison).
My theory is that they are partly motivated by class warfare. They draw the attention away from their own privileges by promoting the idea that lower class whites also enjoy the same privileges but that they are the problematic ones for not doing anything about it.
