[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 295711, member: 27"] It also demonstrates they're dictating quotas in their casting ("checking boxes") which is forcing casting directors to hire based on the actors' skin color or other characteristic rather than their ability to do the job. Some who pride themselves in saying they are "colorblind" are being asked to see it again, and it feels like a step backward rather than forward. Representation is certainly important, but I think they're going overboard in the other direction to a point that it's bordering on comical. [/QUOTE]
