Representation Games

I keep hearing them say it in the media these days, we need representation, it’s the only thing they say! Now if they say it that much they must be quite serious, so I looked on into it, and ended up quite non-plussed. ’Cause based on demographics it seems to me rather plain that if we’re to make progress then we’ll have to make a change. You see I’ve noticed on screen a third of people look black, and for the longest time I thought nothing was wrong with that. But then I say the census and I was rather amazed that blacks were thirteen percent of this country’s modern day, which means there are too many getting jobs in Hollywood, overrepresentation I assume is not that good. what people have lost their shot of being portrayed in film because of miscalculation, how many folks never will? So if we are to be fair, represent folks properly, start firing black actors, or you hate diversity! But even more worrisome, and even more out of whack, are the percentages of gay characters that people act. The way our TV shows it one-fifth of the people are gay, but according to surveys only three percent feel that way! Which means what’s on the TV does not represent real life, and if we cannot see ourselves how can we develop right? To balance out the numbers means drastic measures, I fear, to correct representation means less stories about ‘*****.’ But that’s not the start of it, look at the folks some call ‘trans,’ cause celebre in Hollywood, are they woman, are they man? See so many in movies, but if we’re to represent then I will have to point out they’re.02 percent. Once again they’re too many, and something has to be done, since being represented is vital to everyone! To cast so many trans folk can really do lots of harm, you’re underrepresenting all of the people who aren’t! Unless, of course, these crusades are only a load of bull, nothing more than a charade, a chance to virtue signal, so shallow people feel special without having to do work, a chance to puff themselves up, look down on others as jerks. There’s nothing people like more then feeling they’re somehow great, and if the truth impedes that then reality becomes ‘hate.’ I suppose we could go back to hiring on merit, but they’re not gonna do that… someone might call them ’bigot.’
