Warner Bros. Chief Diversity Officer on How to Deal With White Men Who Question DEI: Just Ignore Them and "Change the Culture" Around Them Until They "Will Start Saying This Place Isn't the Way it Used to Be and They'll Leave Themselves, Which is Great!"

He doesn't specify that he wants white men to self-deport, but, come on, they're the people getting screwed by DEI, so they're the ones most likely to oppose it.

And his response is just to make conditions at the company unlivable for them so that they'll leave, supposedly of their own accord, thus sparing the company the need to fire them and the hazard of racial discrimination lawsuits.

Warner Bros. Discovery's Chief Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer Asif Sadiq recently shared his tact on how to get rid of opponents of DEI from major corporations.

As reported by News Busters, Sadiq was a panelist for an Aspen Institute webinar titled The Future of DEI in Corporate America at the end of February.
Sadiq would share his comments after Design Observer Editor-in-Chief Ellen McGirt stated, "We came up with this strategy, and I love it. It is: Find your people and ignore the person you cannot persuade. You know exactly who they are..."

You mean "straight white men"? That is what you mean, right?

"... and if you can't bring yourself to do it because of your professional orientation, give it 30 days. Ignore them for 30 days. Don't take the bait. Don't send them the clip. Don't send them the newsletter. Don't send them the deck. Just focus on the people who are willing to do the work. The new arrivals to the work. The new leaders who are preparing, as we've talked about to be better allies, to be more vulnerable, to communicate better; work preparing them. ... ''

Sadiq reacted to these comments saying, "And if I can just add on to that point because I think it's such an important point. Even beyond leaders, there's always those few people who will never change. You will never convince them. You can try up until the end of eternity and it will still not happen. We waste so much energy doing that sometimes as individuals whether you're in a leadership position or in a team and so on."
He continued, "Focus on the ones who want to change because that way you start changing culture. And if you change culture often those people who don't come around will start saying this place isn't the way it used to be and they'll leave themselves, which is great!"

Film Threat released part three of "the Disney Files," a short history of Disney's efforts to drive straight white men out of their animation studios and replace them with completely unqualified women, particularly "women of color."

They were unqualified. Of course they were. The men in these positions had pursued this career, spending tens of thousands of dollars of their own money to go to animation school.

The Women of Color Disney brought in to replace them did none of that -- they were largely untrained, "self-taught," barely-working Tumblr cartoonists. They only wound up in animation because Disney went out looking for them and slid into their Tumblr DMs to offer them jobs.

Now think about this situation: You have one group of people who has worked hard to have a career in animation, risked their future prosperity on the gamble of going into this field, and spent years and tens of thousands of dollars training this skill. Obviously this group is highly-motivated and passionate about the art form.

On the other hand, you have some bored women who occasionally post crude cartoons on Tumblr who have never made any effort to become animators and certainly have not bothered going to animation school. These people did not fight to get interviews; they were begged to take a job.

Now, who do you think is the more qualified group?

These Tumblr radicals did not bring much in terms of talent or experience, but they did bring something more important to Disney: Activism and complete contempt for their audience.

Meanwhile, up in Emeryville, Pixar had been secretly slipping LGBT characters into the background of its films. In Toy Story 4, there was a pair of lesbian mommies picking up their kids. Onward had a self-identifying lesbian cop. Lastly, Lightyear featured a lesbian commander, Alisha, who had a pregnant wife and featured Pixar's first same-sex kiss.
Right? Wrong? Such is a debate for another time. What's not being debated is the inclusion of the LGBT (exclusively L) themes was interpreted as Pixar's deliberate attempt to alienate its conservative audiences from its brand. Who needs them anyway, right? As they say, money talks, and this new direction led to a steady decline in Pixar's box office totals, which continues today.
By "Reimagining Tomorrow," Strange World was Disney's first foray into the inclusion of an openly gay character with Searcher's son, Ethan, who is an awkward teen trying to get advice from his father about what to do with his crush, Diazo....
Unfortunately, Strange World was a complete and utter failure, and Disney executives knew it would be long before the release of the film, evidenced by the slashing of its marketing budget and modest press tour and premiere. The movie came out on Thanksgiving weekend and limped in for a $18 million ($12 million domestic) weekend take. The film's LGBT theme decimated the international box office as multiple countries refused to show Strange World. This box office disaster ultimately lost Disney over $100 million when it was all finally said and done.
The return to Disney Animation after a VERY long Thanksgiving was not good. That Monday, the staff was greeted with a very "glum" Zoom call as a way to soothe everyone's feelings. One source tells us that the Disney Exec's message is essentially, "This is a bummer, but the 'message' is important, and we will press on with it..." Clearly, the LESSON WAS NOT LEARNED, and Disney Animation would suffer its subsequent massive failure with Wish.

And in the videogame industry: Racist hiring policies. A black woman who reportedly used to work for Sweet Baby Inc., and who now works for a major, major game studio, EA, openly brags to hiring no white men for their "team," because she wanted a "safe space."

She literally says she cannot feel safe unless she works only with people who are "just like me."

She says that.

Can white people decide that? Or nah?

I stress that this racist c*w is not working for some hole-in-the-wall, fly-by-night censorship/sensitivity blackmail firm like Sweet Baby Inc. now. She's working for the major entertainment company EA, and she eagerly confesses to breaking the law against racial discrimination.

This is all over developer hiring in AAA, based on recent DMs I've been getting from the industry.

Illegal hiring practices everywhere. https://t.co/n5UQGYvJRL

Kotaku's Woman of Color editor says you can be as hateful as you want towards white people, because the forbidden aspect of hate -- "racism" -- cannot exist as regards hate directed at white people:

This same specimen is also angry that many in the videogame industry are not defending Sweet Baby Inc. and DEI generally, and so actually threatens them with retribution if they remain silent.

She quotes a "neo-communist" in making this threat:

17 It has been said, many times/many ways, culture is not a top-down phenomenon. It's bottom up (not THAT way, you pervs!) thing, and what seems to be bubbling up from the current underclasses is a complete rejection of Woke.

I don't think they've quite lost black women entirely, because there's a lot of animosity there, toward not just white men, but black men also.

However... someday, black women will notice the Margaret Sanger method of eliminating them has been working like gangbusters, and once they do, they may discover they've been had.

There is an underlying belief structure here that is a tad bit more subtle than the mechanics being discussed.

If you've worked for a big company (my direct experience is in high tech, but I know it happens in other places, too), you have likely experienced the fascination - even monomaniacal obsession - with "corporate culture." The people who focus all of their energies on corporate culture believe one fundamental precept: that quality and competence are downstream from culture, and culture produces its own positive outcomes.

If you change the culture, everything will improve because the culture got better. Get rid of the bad people and everyone's output improves in all respects (quantitatively and qualitatively).

It inverts cause and effect. in many or most cases. Your competent, productive people created your competent, productive culture.

The super hero movie is dying. The new thing will be IPs of toys and videos.

Thank Barbie and Super Mario Bros.

Executives are stupid and have every incentive to be not adventurous. Oppenheimer will mean nothing like every other Nolan success that wasn't a Batman movie. Instead, it will be extended toy and video game commericals.

This has been something that has been remarked on endlessly with other industries (comics is a good example.) They don't care if the landscape is flat. They want to destroy something YOU love.

They might have some back thought that the company will continue once it is ideologically pure, but that is a secondary consideration.

This is all revenge and hatred porn on a massive scale involving billion dollar industries. And because all of the execs and their HR depts are in insular little communist bubbles, they keep hiring these twisted little choad demons.

70 For years I have argued against anti-discrimination laws saying that if someone wants to exclude a certain class of people, that is their choice and *it will not happen* to any large degree in commercial activities since it will be less profitable.

And if women, or blacks, or gays, or whomever think that they are "excluded," then they can just start their own firms and since they are 10x better than the straight whites, I am sure they will quickly take over the market.

Discrimination only has power when backed by the state.

But they always want to move into shit that SWMs (straight white males) have already built, and they want state power and protection to do it.

But this is even worse since these are not simple commercial activities, but propaganda organs to brainwash successive generations.

72 And in the videogame industry: Racist hiring policies. A black woman who reportedly used to work for Sweet Baby Inc., and who now works for a major, major game studio, EA, openly brags to hiring no white men for their "team," because she wanted a "safe space."

She literally says she cannot feel safe unless she works only with people who are "just like me."
++++
This is a sign of power, by the way.

When mid-level people at a software company are willing to go on TV (well, the internet, but that's the new TV) and proudly proclaim, "I am a fragile bigot who openly violates the law by engaging in hiring practices that are overtly race-based, to the total exclusion of an entire group based entirely on skin color," that means they have the power.

This woman admitted, in plain terms and publicly, that she runs her team in total opposition to the law. She was confident enough and comfortable enough in her position to do so. She has no fear. That she has no fear in admitting her blatantly illegal behavior means one of two things:
1. She's utterly, profoundly stupid
2. She thinks she has no need to fear, because she's doing the right thing in accordance with the real rules.

Bingo. Entertainment in particular was (and remains) highly confident about this because there's no external competition.

Well, there *wasn't* any external competition. The US domestic market was historically *very* resistant to foreign interlopers in entertainment. That is not nearly as true anymore. Japanese products have more or less supplanted the comics industry now. Foreign TV and movies are making meaningful inroads.

I expect censorship to protect Hollywood, ineffective as it will likely be thanks to the Internet. They won't call it that, of course - they'll do it under the auspice of trade regulation - but I expect that they'll try it, and fairly soon.

146 Well, obviously, if you set out to run off every straight, white male employee, you'll deplete your talent pool. Severely, in this case, but that's the last population in the US who is expected to earn advancement purely on merit, for whom race and sexuality don't have any currency in the workplace.

But... You will also run off any women, gays, and minorities who aren't spittle flecked, barking mad Marxist ideologues. Insanity and boiling hatred aren't attractive to talent of any stripe.

This is going to be the problem that brings down this regime. Forget about "the best." They will run everyone who's simply mentally sound out of public life. Everything will rapidly deteriorate from there, and they'll be forced to terrorize and enslave the normies just to keep things running. Then they'll be overthrown.

What happens is the first generation of Bolshies made up a lot of lies. They taught the next generation who kind of believed it but not really and knew it was more complicated. But each successive generation believes it more and more. After 50 years or so, that is all they know. These lies become foundational facts that they build their entire worldview on. There is no redeeming them.

Warner Bros. is already showing wear and tear based on this guys influence...and it will only get worse.

208 I actually had this happen to me, maybe 15, 20 years ago. I was at a small company and the senior technical person.

The CEO hired the European f---ot and made him an exec. He was incompetent and nasty political. He understood that I was a threat since I knew what I was doing, had hired most of the technical staff, and everyone loved me. So he accused me of homophobia.

This was absurd as (officially) I didn't even know he was a f-g. (he was not flaming as Engineering at the time was still pretty conservative. He would make regular trips to Asia for boy-service though and it got around in the industry.) I only found out what he was up to much later. I resigned and moved on for family reasons but later found out that (a) he had made this accusation, and (b) he had been trying really hard to exclude me. Problem is, I ran everything so at most I would get important customer data after other people noticed I was not on the email list and forwarded it to me, etc.

I agree with that.

The racial animus of white people, and the legal penalties put on white people, cannot at all match what African-descendants have gone through in the West.

But the idea was to get rid of racial animus--not to simply redirect it until the scales equaled out.

However, when I think about it, that's where a post-Foucauldian world would arrive. Since words are only a means to redistribute power, there can be no discussion and no "equilibrium" because each party will only seek a balance of power that favors them.

Thus "White Words" are always about "White Power" and thus when white people speak in their own defense they are only trying to perpetuate their "White Supremacy".

This is what would-be boy-fucker Michel Foucault left as his legacy.

It's important to always remember that these woke sorts are hardcore radical collectivists who utterly hate anything resembling success, prosperity, and people being left alone. If they managed to burn everything down, including themselves, they'd call it a great and glorious victory and then joyfully take a swan dive off the highest ruin as the flames reach the top.

The WB diversicrat's attitude is a good example of how this works: note how he never actually says what he wants to change the culture to, only that it must keep changing and anyone who doesn't define and devote themselves to obsessively kowtowing to the social experiment du jour should be ditched.

249 That's how the federal government has been playing for years under the guise of Civil Rights & unionization.
Certain people are ignored and/or worked half to death, if the selected don't depart easily under their own steam, next comes the disciplinary actions: failing behind in timeliness of assignments; not keeping management apprised of just about everything imaginable; being unable to manage priorities; insubordination...

Once the place has been relatively cleared out & new replacements brought onboard, management first complains it's been left holding the bag; secondly, it can't conceivable train the new hires because.. Third, they'll need to cut the new hires loose w/o adequate knowledge & they'll reek havoc more often than not. Lastly, management becomes completely unanchored in its tasks; new managers must brought in from the outside or created through the large pool of mostly incompetent workers.

In not many years, historical knowledge is gone, as is most competency & ethics. And the cycle begins again, failing faster each time.

Strange as it sounds, the origin of all this anti-white hatred is in part of the white population. Yes, there's some natural anti-white racism in blacks and hispanics. But the actual core of this is white progressives. A lot of the progressives who buy into this actually feel superior about being "privileged"(when objectively many of them are not, these are people larping as having rich parents).

The calculations that Figg provided to the NTSB were shoddy at best - a real masterclass in “overwhelm them with output.”

They walk a fine line, in my experience in my jobs.

The legally-mandated stuff is neutral, as it's supposed to be for liability reasons. It is illegal to discriminate against a "protected characteristic" - that is race, ethnic markers, sex, sexual proclivities, age and depending on jurisdiction, other factors.

That doesn't mean "discrimination against white men is okay," because that's still discrimination against a "protected characteristic."

The non-mandated stuff - the "corporate culture" stuff - walks right up to and routinely crosses the line, though.

in mid 80s I graduated and there was one black female in all the engineering colleges graduating that year (there were only a handful of blacks, and maybe 2 or 3 women.)

She got EVERY interview on offer. EVERY ONE. She interviewed with 3 or 4 companies a day. This was a hard time and interviews were scares. People at top of class like me were lucky to get one a week since top companies would only have 4 slots total.

I am sure she also got dozens of offers. Why? because she was a black female engineer. (who took most of her classes at local community colleges that had credit transfer agreement with the uni - I never saw her in a real class.)

Unlike games that can squeak out a more independent commercial success, movies/TV are extremely vulnerable to being deplatformed/debanked/etc, plus you're betting the farm: if you take on work on such a project, you're 100% blacklisted thereafter on any mainstream work, even in tangentially related professions.

Animation is WAY harder to do a startup (for now). The skills are much more rare, fewer people can do it, and the equipment costs are batshit. Any idiot can go film low budget live action assuming they actually know what they're doing artistically. AI is likely to change this but not for a few years yet, at least.

This is the problem with our minority friends. They think white people get everything handed to them, and they want the same. They fail to realize that white people by and large work for what they have. (Also white people generally don't have to walk away from their crimes, because they don't commit that many.)

A similar phenomenon works with white women. They think that white men need only drop their trousers at an interview or performance appraisal, and good things will necessarily come their way. They fail to realize that lousy things happen to white men ALL. THE. TIME.

A similar phenomenon works with white women. They think that white men need only drop their trousers at an interview or performance appraisal, and good things will necessarily come their way. They fail to realize that lousy things happen to white men ALL. THE. TIME.

I think that's part of what led so many women to fall for the GRRRLLL BOSSSSS silliness.

This poor lady sums it up so well. She is sitting in her car and coming to the realization that straight men don't want women who behave like men. She was lied to her entire life.

That's one the purposes of an overpowering propaganda complex - to make you think you're alone because you never hear a dissenting voice. You make yourself into a freak. It's a clever psychological trick.

But to accomplish it, you need to weaponize the environment to ensure self-censorship in order to promote the silence that causes the target to feel desperately alone. The way you do *that* is object lessons. Take some of the dissenters - the ones who don't know the rules - and punish them. In this case, fire them. Let them serve as a lesson to the others.

The social controllers know that they don't have full support, but they also don't care. They're fine with the *appearance* of total control and total support, because it atomizes the dissenters. They can't find each other and, if it *really* works, they will assume that others do not exist at all.

323 Scott Adams described the male/female side of supposed corpo discrimination really well in one of his books. Imagine the management ladder as an airplane hangar lined with bare asses waiting to be kissed, and success is based on who makes it down the line first. A man and a woman start the 'race' and while the woman is still at the starting line whining about the indignity of it all, the guy is halfway down the line, kissing those asses and slipping his business card between the cheeks.

She got EVERY interview on offer...

I've mentioned it before but in the late 80s I dated a black girl in high school in Alabama (and it was no big deal). We had similar grades but mine were better overall, all AP classes, and I did more extracurricular band and sports.

I got accepted to an a partial scholarship to some state schools I applied for (Roll Tide), and she got offers for full rides from EVERYWHERE. She didn't even apply to the Ivies and was getting full ride offers.

It's crazy to think of how easy it is to go to college for free if you're black, and the kids still refuse to.

363 A similar phenomenon works with white women. They think that white men need only drop their trousers at an interview or performance appraisal, and good things will necessarily come their way. They fail to realize that lousy things happen to white men ALL. THE. TIME.

The answer to this is most of the "white men get everything easy" female cohort are comparing themselves to the .01% of men in the upper echelons of politics, business, and sports.

So you'll see a female project manager, for example, not compare herself to the guy driving her uber or even her peers in the corporate office but the CEO who may well have gotten the position solely because this father founded the company. But again...that isn't the 99.98% of men that are at her level in the corporate world or lower...

Posted by: 18-1 at March 15, 2024 05:08 PM (ibTVg)

364 So, the DEI folks are using the old technique of pushing people to "self select out" of the company.

This sort of thing has been done for decades for other reasons, mostly for competency in my experience... you have a low performer in the group who you would like to get rid of (firing is hard to do, unless the person does something actually illegal).... you make the job unpleasant, often in the case of the low performer, by allowing them to fail and then during performance review time, you use that to remove them. A conversation like "Your results were troubled this [whatever time period], you might want to consider finding another opportunity outside of the company." The unstated threat is that they will be fired if they don't leave (most people don't know that is harder to do than they think).

If you actually think that it is possible for the person to improve you might use a "performance improvement plan" and if they mess up there you can leverage that to push the person out.

The DEI folks seemed to have grasped the use of this, but they may just be the new kids on the block and their variation seems a bit more slimy then the variants that I saw.

368 Ace, I'm a bit late, and I have not read everything fully or the comments.

But the situation you describe at the start of the piece is an actual self admission of a prima facie violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Specifically creating a hostile work environment for individuals of a certain race or sex or ethnic origin, etc. And, the defendant, in this case Warner Bros is not presumed innocent. They are presumed guilty.

It also allows for increased fines and punitive damages. I'm not sure about individual officer liability or responsibility. Anyone run out of Warner Brothers on this basis needs to contact Miller's legal group. You've got money coming - and this loud mouth has given you all the testimony necessary to get a nice big payday. And probably get his ass fired as well.

370 Let them try this and the industry will grind to a halt.

They have to realize that all these diversity hires don't want to do the real jobs. They want to leave college and immediately be a show runner or director.

They've pushed this shit for years and all the crafts are still mostly white men, and not for lack of trying, because they're the people willing to work 18 hour days, or lug equipment, or be able to figure out intricate camera moves.

Film careers are generally progressed from the bottom up, and you get very few diversity hires that want to be the PA doing shit work.

Im on what id say is a progressive set right now, and it would collapse spectacularly without straight white males.

372 just to make conditions at the company unlivable for them
Yeah, that's called a HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT. And it's cause for a major lawsuit and pretty severe sanctions.
