Aziz Ansari won't do an Indian accent on-screen. Here's why

[No1]

There needs to be a bigger transition to diversity in the writer's room in order to see less actors and actresses being casted for roles that perpetuate racialized tropes:

mmm this video is misguided, its another white liberal attempt to promote "diversity", diversity initiatives will leave white people on top in the end

black people should not get it twisted, this isnt about diversity, this is about money, if we want to see more "diversity" we need to put our money up

I don't this this should be looked at as "white liberal attempts," but rather a good attempt to help people realize the origin of how minimal roles are created for POC that inevitably end up being racialized tropes, or the "tokens" -- it starts in the writers room where a lot of the power is.

no it doesnt start at the writers room, that mentality is exactly what im against

it starts with the bankers and financiers, if we want more "diversity" we need to put up our money

There isn't enough dollars for a nikka can make to overpower cultural imperialism. But you make that gwuop, start another Nollywood, and let me know how far that gets, fam.

there isnt enough vision for black people to organize against cultural imperialism, instead negroes are content in following some white liberal diversity initiative, cuz they have no real visions of their own

you're like exhibit A

Outsourced. All the middle eastern actors were British, I believe, and put on fake accents.

 

[theworldismine13]

How's that?

because it's an intellectual exercise that leaves white people in the control, and it doesnt address the real issue

the issue is not the writers, the real issue is money, there is no other issue, so black people need to focus on money not in "diversity", multiculturalism" or "affirmative action", those are all white liberal initiatives that in the end leave white people on top[/QUOTE]
