A revolution is under way. White actors are being fired. Edicts from studio bosses make it clear that only minorities racial and sexual can be given jobs.

A new wave of what has been termed by some as anti-white prejudice is causing writers, directors and producers to fear they will never work again. One described the current atmosphere as 'more toxic than Chernobyl', with leading actors afraid to speak out amid concern they will be labelled racist.

The first sign came with one of the most powerful black directors in Hollywood, Oscar-winning Jordan Peele the man behind box office hits such as Get Out and Us stated in public that he did not want to hire a leading man who was white.

'I don't see myself casting a white dude as the lead in my movie,' Peele said. 'Not that I don't like white dudes. But I've seen that movie before.'

As one studio executive responded privately: 'If a white director said that about hiring a black actor, their career would be over in a heartbeat.' Few doubt it.

Peele is more vocal than most about his hiring policy, but his outlook is increasingly widespread. Dozens of producers, writers and actors have spoken to The Mail on Sunday about the wave of 'reverse racism' pulsing through the industry.

speaking on condition of anonymity, the executive confirmed that the climate is now toxic for any 'white, middle-aged man in showbusiness'. Their careers, 'are pretty much over'.

They continued: 'We're only hiring people of colour, women or LGBT to write, star, produce, operate the cameras, work in craft services. If you are white, you can't speak out because you will instantly be branded 'racist' or condemned for 'white privilege'.

'The pendulum has swung so far, everyone is paralysed with fear by the idea anything you say could be misinterpreted and your career ended instantly. There are a lot of hushed conversations going on, but publicly everyone is desperate to be seen to be promoting diversity and too terrified to speak out. It's imploding: a total meltdown.'

Well, it just means the whole thing will sink, because the attitude it is being done. Different races and actors are fine, but not the "Kathleen Kennedy" toned stuff that ruined Star Wars for example, and now all the posturing in other ones like Trek and Who. And those are just franchises.

The overall trajectory is one where they will be struggling to have an audience as it is. So the fired actors will soon be followed by their would-be replacements and usurpers. Unlike the Media and the Government -- the forces of the Market still operate in Entertainment.

that and it is a risky play when the entire world is likely entering a recession that could still become a depression, depending how things go.

Add to that, China does not want to see black or gay actors. so movies with those leads will get minimal paydays from that market.
Oh no, you are right. Forgot that about China. These Leftist idiots here don't understand that it was this country that made an effort at inclusion. Outside Europe, none of the rest left where they were. And they will go back after the Left ruins the Great Experiment here if they do.

Also correct about a risky play when in recession circumstances that could still crash even more. In fact, if you are in Hollywood, because of sjw feminism -- just to go by YouTube reviews and anecdotal indications in spades, there is real risk of abolishing entire groups of fan interest and it not being replaced by new ones.

The big push to put various minorities into lead roles was to better reach those minorities who wanted to see people like themselves in their entertainment products. I get that. But isn't this true of any demographic that you care to name? And is it really smart business to push out 80-90% of your potential market based on wokedness? Yeah, the pendulum is swinging back alright, but it probably more resembles the one Poe wrote about than a Foucault.

It's hard to feel sorry for the man who digs himself into a hole so deep he then can't get out anymore

Especially since every time you tried to warn him he just called you a racist bumpkin and kept digging

To say the least.

Its a pity in a way, because some real experiments that might have good motive and effect are smeared by this.

For example, because of the wide cultural breadth and scope of the British Empire, the idea that they might consider Idris Elba as a James Bond figure was a provocative take. The directions the 007 wing of MI-6 would be recruiting from would be far and exotic. I had no objection to that kind of shuffle as there was nothing implausible and such a great actor.

Thor as a woman, seems kind of dumb. And so it goes.

Hey I got an idea! Why don't the marginalized band together and make their own movie. Probably be better anyway.

I thought you were just making up a silly analogy until I googled "female Thor". Natalie Portman is "Thor - Love & Thunder"???

Making movies for 13% of the American population and 1-3% of the population isn't going to pay off for Hollyweird........ in America or anywhere else.

Yesss... I love how Natalie Portman looks, but it is just seems so forced. Especially when you consider the way Thor was pitched. Ah well.

And the saying applies, go woke and go broke for this is what is going to happen and then, they are going to blame racism for its failure.

These people have lost all sense of reality.

They should do a Frankenstein remake with an all minority cast set in Hollywood. Except for the monster that could be a middle aged white guy. I wonder how many people would get it?

And they will all go vote Democrat in November. No sympathy.

Marxism and class warfare does not elevate anybody. It drags down everybody, and nobody is safe from the mob, not even those who are part of it.

That's a common misconception. Their goal isn't to make money. Their goal is to spread Marxist ideology and influence culture. China has its hands so far up everybody's ass in Hollywood, they are all getting paid by the CCP (along with non-state actors like Soros) regardless of how well their movies and TV shows do. Losing money from overly woke programming is not a concern for them. They don't care.
