Yes Mommy Dearest....I find you incredibly two-faced....yet hilarious at the same time. And I expected your predictable response above. Exactly all you wroteOscarGuy wrote:Because Tee is a rational, clear-thinking writer and he doesn't post one comment after another calling out diversity and acting condescendingly about it. Matter of fact, I think this is the first time I've ever seen Tee say anything of the like and he certainly put it in a cleaner, more cogent, and thoughtful way than you do, Reza. Tee doesn't feel the need to call attention to his opinion about diversity issues at every drop of the hat. In the span of two weeks, you've mentioned it at least three times that I've noticed and every time it's been little more than belittling, degrading, and dismissive.
Further, Tee isn't saying that we should ignore diversity issues because there isn't a problem and he doesn't then put forth every excuse possible why we shouldn't be more tolerant, open, and accepting. That's the way you act. You act as if any attempt at broadening the accessibility and openness of cinema for distinct voices as an affront to cinema itself rather than a re-alignment of it.
The difference is in approach. You exhibit behaviors exactly like the Ugly Americans you take offense at. You behave like you're a spurned straight white male insulted that his opinions aren't being treated as more important than every one else. You act as if any minority who gains all the rights and benefits you already possess is somehow being promoted above you and that you will now be treated like they have been treated for centuries.
I have absolutely nothing against diversity. I just find it hilarious and hypocritical the way these organizations are attempting to include it. At gun point, which is why we are seeing the mess being created over and over again. Don't get your knickers in a twist if I laugh each time it happens. The hypocricy of it all is galling.
