Writer Stephen King incurred the wrath of social media and social justice warriors on Twitter after sharing his thoughts about diversity and how it applies to the arts and the Oscar nominations. I respect him for taking the heat and not deleting the tweets which you can read below.
I also believe what he wrote applies to hiring in general, electing officials or anything that involves people vying for a specific result. Why should the arts be exempt if you believe in affirmative action for everything else? The podcast version of my radio show above attempts to explore that topic.
Nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club (which can be heard locally on our sister station 106.7 The Beat) had a thing or two to say about it as well with their 'Donkey Of The Day' segment which you can hear below.
Your thoughts?
