And equity is really the operative word there.
podcast-host
We're not really talking about equality.
podcast-host
The fact that if we're gonna judge these projects and put people up as nominees, we should judge everybody equally and not take into account their skin color or their gender or their sexuality.
podcast-host
That's what equality actually is.
podcast-host
He's advocating for equity.
podcast-host
He wants equal outcome, which means we do have to very strategically.
podcast-host
Strategically pick which person of color wins here and where the white person wins and where men win and where women win.
podcast-host
That's not how we should be operating.
podcast-host
But that is the message that Hollywood has been standing by.
podcast-host
For him, it's not enough that there's a diverse room at the Emmys, that there's diverse talent, that there is diverse nominations.
podcast-host
No, we have to be actually taking home the awards too.
podcast-host
So if everybody's being judged on, I don't know, their actual work.
podcast-host
And white actors and performers and creators happen to take home awards on their actual work, that's somehow not okay.
podcast-host
Let's watch another TikTok where somebody's talking about this.
podcast-host
This says, just watch the Emmys to see not a single black person win with this strong look at the camera.
podcast-host
Please, you're not entitled to winning an award because you are black.
podcast-host
And it should have never been signaled to you that that was the case.
podcast-host
How much more does Hollywood need to do?
podcast-host
They're already pushing it in production, in scripting, in the storytelling, in who's on screen and who's behind the screen to go to the Oscars and be nominated as a film.
podcast-host
You literally have to meet their diversity standards, which means they are controlling who you tell.
