In an incredibly bold move, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced last week that, beginning in 2019, works that do not demonstrate inclusivity in their production practices will no longer be eligible for the Outstanding British Film or Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer awards at the annual BAFTAs, often considered the U.K. equivalent of the Oscars.* Eligible projects must showcase this in two of the following ways, as the BBC reported: On-screen characters and themes, senior roles and crew, industry training and career progression, and audience access and appeal to underrepresented audiences. BAFTA will also remove the requirement that newly admitted voters be recommended by two existing members.
*Correction, Dec. 20, 2016: This post originally suggested that films that did not meet the diversity requirements would be ineligible for all BAFTA Awards. The requirements only apply to the Outstanding British Film or Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director, or Producer awards.

Ehm… seems a smart move to promote diversity and fight racism and prejudice to me?

Just let Pakistan annex you and end your miserable existence.
Jace Harris
At least they are open about it. The Academy Awards do the same, just they don't declare it. Also who the fuck cares? So white actors can still recieve the BAFTA
Austin Williams
This tbh. I'm a burger anglophile and still wouldn't mind seeing that place wiped off the map.

EXCUSE ME, but other than being utterly racist and bigoted your post also lacks logical sense: if we serve [f word] only, how can you say afterwards that only white people are allowed? are you implying that only POC can be homosexual? Also, stop distorting my name, it's not funny

Bourgeouis faker go home.
Luis Morgan
Sounds fair. Blacks are just as smart and as capable as whites, so they need hand outs and leg-ups otherwise they fall behind. Don't be such a bigot.
Ian Jackson
So what? It's just some faggoty award no different than the Oscars we burgers have. They both operate on the same exact principle. They just nominate the most boring, overrated movie of that particular year. Most of the judges don't even watch the movie (12 Years a Slave). It's all just a big studio circle jerk.
George C. Scott said it best, "The [Academy Awards] ceremonies are a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons."
Colton Torres
*sigh* Just another backwarded homophobic redneck who's going to be wiped out by history anyway nothing to see here, move along
Excuse me, i'm a classical marxist

Actually it's been proven scientifically that fags are fucked up. They're barely human just like niggers. It's almost 2017, can you please come out of the stone age and join us in the 21st century?

good, i'm sick of movies about white men and they're problems, we need more movies about the struggle of the jews, people of color and transpeople. i hope the oscars do the same.

I want a black Hitler movie. We wuz der Führer n sheeiit.
How does that even work. So i can make a movie where an all white cast slaughters niggers but i would theoretically still be eligible for nomination as long as all the cableguys in the backround are nogs?
How does a Director or producer "find ways for a wide range of people to see your movie" ? What the fuck does that even mean? Are they supposed to just invite a horde of pakistanis off the street to watch a screening?
Well what is it, BAFTA? You can't monitor applicants to enforce a diversity quota and at the same time be fair and open to all applicants.
Landon Long
So if a Brit had made Apocalypto, it wouldn't have been diverse enough for a Bafta?
Lincoln Nelson
Ugh… So tired of seeing you Looney Toons impersonate me.
Zachary Fisher
Who gives a fuck? The pro-diversity propaganda has been an unwritten rule for the last decade, it's just official now.
Filmmakers with genuine talent and an artistic vision won't care about these rules. The people who would pay attention to this are already shitting out a constant supply of propagandistic bullshit, this won't even effect their work.
Frankly I'm happy for the media masters to keep up their anti white affirmative action hiring procedures, it only helps more whites realize that they aren't as "privileged" as some people like to pretend they are.
For every affirmative action hire and overtly anti white film there is a handful of pissed off whites, as it gets more overt the number steadily grows.
This kind of unfair kikery (along with non white crime) is helping to resurrect white nationalism.
Caleb Parker
"Diversity" means less white people. Also there were whites at the end of that film.
Adam Campbell
not true communism
oh, i'm sorry to disrupt you, faker, but as a true marxist i stand by the side of diversity and equality, not by the side of ignorance and bigotry
Nathan Brown
What if it's a period piece?
Xavier Ortiz
depicting periods is illegal in England because of the new porn law

Oh wow that actually passed? You limies better hurry up and kick the Blairite scum out of Labour already before your country turns fascist.

Exclude niggers from your films. Add white actors who self identify as gay or bi Meet the diversity quota without including apes

You're right, this shit is why Trump got elected and it's partially why Brexit happened (though that was more the fault of immigrants themselves). Each mouthbreathing SJW probably does more to redpill normalfags than any of us whenever they pull some shit like this. Your average person is pretty dumb but they're not dumb enough to put up with this without realizing how hypocritical it is.

Like Britain will even exist in 2019.

This, it's more likely it won't be eligible if it doesn't have enough Allah and Islam.

It doesn't count as a strawman comic if it's Holla Forums certified

There are plenty of niggers who think Cleopatra was black.
There are plenty of niggers who think ALL of the Egyptian rulers were black. A few towards the end actually were, strangely the afrocentrists never focus on them.
There are fringe nigger groups that actually believe Beethoven (and quite a few other European historical figures) were black.
Black history is a state funded subject that is pushed on children and heavily exaggerated in areas.

Can you post a link to their website or something?

I'm not really interested in the ramblings of insane niggers, I couldn't even name any of the major "WE WUZ" theorists. It's a topic that is mildly amusing but is only really worthy of a quick glance, there is nothing to be learnt from studying it. I
Vid related is the nigs that think "WE WUZ EUROPEANS". I wouldn't be surprised if the heads of these groups are opportunistic conmen but the rank and file niggers in these organizations believe this garbage.
"WE WUZ EUROPEANS" is a fringe belief of course, but it is slowly gaining traction among afrocentrists. It's funny but also slightly worrying.
Noah Hughes
Except they do but they do so in a way that "Dey wuz kangz so we wuz alll kangz"
Afrocentrism is fucking retarded since it completely ignores the diversity of Africa and is written by dumbass American niggers that think everyone in Africa looks exactly like them.

Just like American white "nationalist" mongrels claim all Europeans are the same. All colonials are rootless mixbreeds who shouldn't exist in a just world.

If the farm is already far too gone then it's best to look for greener pastures.
