Part 5/10:
Since the social upheaval following George Floyd’s protests in 2020, Hollywood ramped up DEI efforts. Many believed that these initiatives would be phased out once their purpose was served, but some suggest that instead, they might be rebranded rather than eliminated outright. The idea is that Hollywood could keep the programs alive by tweaking the branding or scope to align with new industry priorities.
Some industry insiders propose a more radical approach: redirect these initiatives to become actively anti-DEI, focusing on dismantling existing biases from a different angle. This might involve intense training designed to decondition previous biases, regardless of their existence.
