Diversity in some films is not only unnecessary, but makes the movie worse. There are too many black people in medieval European films, and it's bull shit. I love Asian movies, and I've watched a few that take place in history, and I would think it was the dumbest shit if there were white people in those, so it's not a double standard.

More often than thought by a person who says "No black people ever existed in medieval Europe, ever", but less often than thought by, say, Hollywood, or even worse the producers of Doctor Who.
The vast, vast majority of people in medieval Europe would go through their lives without ever seeing a black person. Of course the vast majority of people in medieval Europe went through their lives without seeing very many other people at all outside their immediate surroundings.

only when someone is financially well off can they say something like this. and the coen's have already won 4 oscars so they really don't give a fuck.

Not disagreeing with them, but:
Joel Coen has said: "in regards to whether our background influences our film making… who knows?" says Joel. "We don't think about it… There's no doubt that our Jewish heritage affects how we see things."

Maybe, just maybe, they're real jews with real jewish beliefs. Those "real" jews I have less issues with. The "fake" liberal jews are the problem for me, they are for equal marriage but oh what a surprise, homosexuality is illegal in judaism.
I'm agnostic and for equal marriage, but I just think it's a bit of an oxymoron to be a jew and pro equal marriage.
Ben Shapiro did a good video on why jews vote leftist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5IqH7oJ9h4.
Like I don't fucking care which is your religion, just follow what it says in your house under closed doors, without putting it into politics or infriging on other people's lives and rights.

The Jew Coen brothers say in this article that "diversity is important."
It's not. That's a jew lie.
They're just being edgy and saying the Oscars aren't important.

Always had a lot of respect for the Coen brothers, and this just makes me like them even more.

Whenever SJW's trot out the old war horse "Not as silly as John Wayne playing Genghis Khan" when ever the topic of a non white playing a historical/traditional white person. I always get a laugh when i think about how Genghis Khan had red hair and green eyes

It seems like the Coen Brothers care more about hiring the best person for the part, instead of lowering their standards or compromising quality of a movie just because of other peoples skewed view of diversity.
No government mandate here that requires them to pay someone who isn't the best candidate for a position.

Good. Hipsters don't deserve their movies.
