Question to the mods- Would it be okay to make a Netflix for white people company and post it to hacker news?
Question for the founders- At least since Feb 2021, Amazon and Netflix have created and promoted black voices by creating a separate category. Is the problem you attempt to solve more visibility and is what Amazon doing insufficient?
- Koshkin 5y agoWell, the focus is (and, indeed, should be) on disadvantaged and under-represented minorities - at least until the playing field levels (which may take a while).
- Gradient-Ascent 5y agoDiversity means black people for Hollywood (gosh, there were so many differently tainted black people in "The Tomorrow War", but no Indian or Chinese). Black people are highly over represented in TV compared to the 13% of the population they are in the US. Black people have hit the jackpot when it comes to "diversity quotas", as opposed to Indian or Chinese. The problem is, that as long as you do not live "in your country" you will always feel "off" when turning on the TV and watching any other culture you can't connect with, not matter the percentage.
