Under the new Academy Award rules, your film isn’t eligible for a Best Picture nomination unless it includes minority characters, but you’re also not allowed to write minority characters if you’re white. Seems like a dilemma.

Also, do we want white authors making white-only art? https://twitter.com/sairasameerarao/status/1304940790251229186

Also, notice how often people now speak not in the rational language of persuasion or argument but in the imperious language of decree.

The new Oscar rules require a film meet 2 of 4 representational categories, the first of which is minority characters/actors. You can comply with 2 of the 3 other categories involving distribution/marketing but requiring white writers to write white-only films violates the spirit

I’m sure it will come as a shock to learn that the person who issued this racial decree urging white-only art is worth many millions.

So often, these issues are centered to ensure that politics is never about class, never about gross material inequities:
