    As we continue the push towards inclusion in entertainment, I have heard from multiple people that the current narrative is that white men can't get jobs. Agents are saying that to clients as a way to mitigate them not getting a job whether it is true or not. It is important to

        keep in mind a couple of things as this narrative gets spread and makes white, mostly older male directors really pissed off: 1- the opposite of inclusion is not discrimination. Just because others now have access to opportunities and that more people are vying for jobs, the men

        There isn’t enough time in the universe to list all the mediocre subpar less than ordinary basic white men who get: land, credited for others’ work, included in textbooks, publications, jobs, promotions, judicial seats, loans, presidencies, news coverage, positions of power, etc.
