Watch This Obese DEI Executive Steal A Trash Can
"White men directed 69% of TV episodes in 2014 and just 34% by 2021. Since 2021, 11 directors under 40 have been nominated for Emmys. None of them have been white men. Between 2004 and 2013, over 40 GenX white men received Academy Award nominations for screenwriting. In the following decade, 2014 to 2023, more than 50 Gen X white men were nominated alongside just six white male millennials."
Data from Compact Magazine reveals a systematic exclusion of white men from entertainment industry opportunities over the past decade, with the percentage of TV episodes directed by white men dropping by half. Emmy nominations for directors under 40 since 2021 included zero white men, while established white male directors remain successful but younger white males face near-total exclusion. The trend represents what critics call a deliberate campaign to drive white males out of creative fields through DEI policies.
