Do you have evidence of this practice you'd like to share with us? Of a black actor taking a job a white actor was more qualified for?

Try again, juney.

I don't need other people to tell me race-based hiring and quotas are problematic.

Yes, I am quite aware that you don't let pesky things like facts or evidence influence your opinions. Good for you!

Call me crazy, but I am of the view that hiring -- including hiring of actors -- should be race neutral.

“I feel that the tide has turned,” one agent said. “I can pitch any actor for any role, and I think that’s good.”

AND IT'S GOOD!

because film and tv are visual mediums, race can be an important factor for a character but it also may be irrelevant.

A hypothetical lawyer might look into Hollywood hiring practices if, say, he had a potential client tell him that his agent told him the studio said he wasn't suited for a role because he was white. If true, that's a clear violation of Title VII. So much so, that the lawyer would look into industry practices to see if the claim has facial plausibility as a factual matter.

And did this hypothetical lawyer choose to take the case or not? Doesn't sound like it hypothetically of course.

I always found it amusing that the original Black Ranger was black and the Yellow Ranger was Asian.

How it should be. Hollywood has lost its way.

Quotas.

Could be wrong, but I was under the impression that Hooter's gets around weight-discrimination laws by claiming that their servers are "actors". That is to say, I think acting roles are exempt from discrimination laws in almost all cases.

Schilling never disappoints.
