Any lists of writers, directors, actors and others to be considered for a project should “be at the very least representative of the country we live in. Which roughly breaks down to: 50 percent women, 12 percent black, 18 percent Hispanic, 6 percent Asian.”

Steve Sailer: “But Not 98 Percent Gentile …”

Earlier: In Hollywood, it’s hip to be anti-white. Abrams: “We wrote these characters but when we went to cast it, one of the things I had felt, having been to the Emmys a couple times — you look around that room and you see the whitest f*cking room in the history of time. It’s just unbelievably white. And I just thought, we’re casting this show and we have an opportunity to do anything we want, why not cast the show with actors of color?”

Also earlier: Whitey need not apply: “Diversity” means fewer white people.

CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller revealed Tuesday that the network’s reimagining of [Nancy Drew] will be diverse.

“She is diverse, that is the way she is written” . . . Geller said it was too early in the process to explain just what he meant by diverse — whether Nancy is African-American, Asian-American or Latino . . . “[She will] not [be] Caucasian,” he stressed. “I’d be open to any ethnicity.”
