The conflation of "diversity" with a lack of quality is a long-standing argument made by white males who are afraid of losing their privilege. Anyone who doesn't consider diversity in art is probably making shitty art...
Or stealing it from black people.

I bet he's at home listening to a rock riff created by the Beatles when they "discovered" blues, eating a gourmet taco made by a lily-white chef, underneath a Picasso "inspired" by African art, talmbout:

I get to vote for some of the Hollywood Awards and one of my metrics is:
"Could this same movie be made if it was about black people?"

Black people don't even get to make art. They have to recreate acceptable negro stories that other white men allow them to create. And is PRECISELY because you motherfuckers don't consider diversity
