    “Certainly, there have been times where, you know, there’s no way we’re hiring a white man for this…. There are times when it’s spoken.”

    Context is crucial in this situation as it is very easy to take stuff like this out of context.

      This isn’t Disney showing off their hatred of the norms, it’s them mentioning how sometimes they don’t need that kind of person.

      1. Ozzie

        Either way it’s illegal and racist

      2. Nah Shis

        Yes, exactly.

      3. Davidson

        Would you be cutting Disney the same level of slack if
        Giordano’s comments were about people of color or the LGBTQ? I doubt it.

    3. LeBahn James

      I love how the pro discrimination folk out themselves!

      1. Steamboat Wille

        The video was intentionally cut or faked by the Russian End Wokeness so, for all we know, this could’ve been Disney explaining how they wouldn’t need a non “DEI” person for a certain Scene or Character.

    Disney has gone overboard on DEI, making it more important than creating high quality entertainment that appeals to a wide segment of the consuming public. Disney’s business results show the impact of their efforts and spell failure for Bob Iger in his last years as CEO.

    1. Pete

      Yeah it’s pretty evident looking at the lack of quality productions Disney’s had over the past few years. Until Iger is ready to take a hard look at the sacrificing of quality hires for DEI targets, they will continue to hemorrhage money and lose market share of the entertainment space. Not just losing to other production houses, but in aggregate as people just plain walk away from the old traditional entertainment industry.

    I won’t be buying anything Disney anymore

    1. Steamboat Willie

      Good, Disney won’t miss ya.

      1. TroonDestroyer

        You will never be a woman.

          I never said I was trans, nor will I ever, you piece of sh!t.

          1. Kendal

            sure, tranny. Which bathroom you use?

          2. Steamboat Wille

            Male, cis.

          3. Rose

            Watch your mouth.

          4. Brandon

            Straight men don’t refer to themselves as “male cis”. YWNBAW.

        2. Nah Shis

          I agree that you’re a piece of…

      3. Rose

        They won’t miss you, either.

    2. Nah Shis

      Bye! No one cares!

    3. Rose

      I already don’t! When they start to be UNWOKE then I’ll think about it.

    I understand that they want diversity but the way they are doing it is ridiculous.

    They are using it as a cover to destroy cannon Disney and the work Walt did on the earlier movies and the way his influence was in the later movies.

    They cast a black Ariel, which in and of itself isn’t a problem except that Ariel isn’t a black character.

    Now they are trying to make Snow White Hispanic. What is that?

    While I’m not against diversity in hiring and things like that, remaking movies and changing it like this and using diversity as a cover it getting way out of control.

  6. Jade

    It matters what role was being cast. Was it an ethnic role? I’m very positive plenty of white males work for Disney as I’ve seen with my own eyes many times.

  7. Moefx124

    I wonder if you would say this is okay if they said we will not hire any gay people.

    1. WishfulThinker

      Only problem is that it would be taken out of context if you said it like this. You have to clarify if it’s for one thing or is widespread

      1. Brandon

        “We’re not looking at men for the role of secretary here.” Yeah. That makes it more legal. *eyeroll*

    2. Lol

      Of course it is. Sexual orientation shouldn’t be protected. There’s straight, and everything else need not be mentioned.

      1. Lol

        For clarity, it should be okay to discriminate in casting. Example: they should have never cast a black woman as Ariel. But specifically there should never be gay storylines from Disney.

        1. Ozzy

          Well damn, Guess we have to blacklist Dana Terrance for making Woke Harry Potter Ripoff…

          Also, for the Ariel thing, she’s a mermaid from a public domain story where her ethnicity doesn’t change the overall story.

    I won’t be anything Walt Disney! Inclusion equals reverse racism and discrimination. Give all the jobs to gays, queers, lesbians, blacks, hispanics, females and every other freak show so I can sit my white male ass at home and draw a check off the government. I can get a free phone and every other form of assistance and let the above mentioned keep me up. Sick people create the stupidity that we are seeing in the US. We have a president that supports agendas like this as well. Walt Disney is not Walt Disney anymore. Should call it a freak show.

  9. It’s racist for Disney to say I’m not hiring a white male! Would they say I’m not hiring a black male or a gay male? Liberals including Disney are so short sighted and so focused on DEi they can’t see the extent of their RACISM!

  10. J

    This isn’t a joke? Are people really claiming racism because they don’t hire enough white people? Lol. What am I missing…

  11. NoTrustInMen

    So easy to use people for politics. People react instead of asking questions. A company full of white people not hiring white people? Maybe it is the guys opinion. I’ve heard people say a black person was hired because of Affirmative Action. They cannot fathom that the person may be more qualified than them.

  12. James jerrnigan

    Woke and full of queers. Our household no longer supports Disney

  13. walt

    I love the salve that some idiots are trying to put on this – “Oh it was taken out of context” I feel sorry for the employee cause I am sure as a white male he will be fired for saying the truth. If you have not noticed Disney is DEI in everything – even turning European fairy tales into racial crap, (please don’t say what’s wrong with that becuase if they made a white Moana the libtards would be screaming bloody murder) and hiring is just the same. This started years ago – when they wanted to hire people other than white to fill even their lowest positions. Anyone who defends this is a bigot and a racist. The best person for the job should be selected PERIOD! Yup done with disney – and they won’t miss me – no probably not but being in the tour industry I am turning everyone I know from Disney. There was just a report that families have to incur on average $2000 in debt to go to the parks. Disgusting.

    Walt Disney himself fought the communism and fascism as he recognized communism was trying to take hold of Hollywood and the entertainment industries.
    Well, he is gone and they have succeeded. For those that still love what today’s Disney stands for, I call you Communists.

    1. Steamboat Willie

      The commies have totally infiltrated Hollywood by removing “offensive” stereotypes and making femoids “strong” when they should be making me and the boys a sandwich…. /s

      1. Steamboat Willie

        And it seems they succeeded even before the 2010s. You know with Alien, Star Wars, Terminator, Sailor Moon, Super Princess Peach, Pokémon, Mulan, etc…

        1. Lol

          Pokemon is Hollywood? Jesus christ.

          1. Steamboat Willie

            He said Hollywood AND other ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES. Pokémon falls under the entertainment industry and Hollywood given the movies…

        2. Jan K.

          Are you antagonistic all the time or just behind the computer screen? I feel sorry for your family if you live your life with this thinking. Mean and nasty is not a healthy way to live!

    2. Steve

      The commies have never succeeded and never will. I will be giving names after I take over Disney just like Walt did.

  15. Max

    Just a correction. Only 5-7% of the population is gay. He doubled it.

    1. Lol

      I don’t even believe 5-7%. Sounds like a sample from San Francisco.

    2. AH

      It’s more like about 3.5%

  16. cwm

    Well, if you guys REALLY want to have a white male for Aerial, I suppose Disney could make another film for you…

  17. This is wrong and it’s racist! I hope this lawsuit continues to go forward. Dr Martin Luther King would not like the new Disney philosophy. He believed people should be judged by the content of their character NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN! Come on Disney WAKE UP ALREADY. You’re WOKE and RACIST!

  18. AH

    Not a surprise that they would go that way.

  19. Jenny

    DEI is illegal. Most qualified person for the job regardless of race or sex.

  20. Rose

    If the part calls for someone white, HIRE someone white. How would people feel if that Princess & the frog character was cast as a white person? Enough of the prejudices against whites!
    There are more white people in the states, but it seems like a lot less parts/jobs for them! This is reverse discrimination.
