Why you will never see many accurate historical movies or TV shows.

To satisfy the first standard, filmmakers must meet one of the following criteria:

• One of the lead actors or "significant supporting actors" must be non-white;
• 30% of all secondary actors must be women, non-white, not-straight, or disabled; and
• The "main storyline(s), theme or narrative of the film is centered on" one of these same groups.

The second standard requires that at least two creative leadership positions and department heads, 30% of the film's crew, or six other key roles hail from these "underrepresented groups."

The third standard requires both that the film's distribution or financing company offer paid apprenticeships or internships to people from these groups and further that it offer training opportunities and skill developments, but again only to non-whites, non-straights, and women.

The fourth and final standard requires that the film company and/or studio have multiple senior executives from these allegedly underrepresented groups.

Dude, I'm trying to extricate myself from (toxic) INGO politics and this thread isn't helping.
If I wanted to read articles from those sources, I'd go to those websites.



Some of us just want to talk about guns, uncoiled rice, and boner drones.
It's getting worse and worse around here when it comes to politics; a lot of good folks have been driven out.

Not to put words in his mouth, but I think it's more about the "no politics in the break room" rule. Some of the articles posted in this thread are inevitably going to be political, so perhaps this whole thread could be moved to a politics-allowed section?

Makes sense to me.

One can label politics to everything because politics affects everything if you get right down to the nitty-gritty.

True enough. It's somewhat subjective, and I certainly am not the one to make the determination. I'm just saying that I can see @JettaKnight 's point. Congressional hearings about communist influence in schools seems just about as political as you can get.
