Sigh.

Was it just me, or was he saying “diversity” like a buzzword? Like, “synergy,” or “vertical movement,” Words mean things, Mr. Damon.
You do know that the person (an employee!) who wrote this article is a black woman....right?
Hahahah This is like when I asked some of the younger partners at the firm, if they think they’d ever end up hiring a non white male or a female (the latter was a clear No) for the next partner position. They asked why I was asking.
What they can’t see is that the project never had any integrity. While they can always nod their heads when we say that film is a corrupt system which shuts out certain races and genders, that’s in the abstract. None of them is going to admit that their personal film is contributing to that. *They* had to have picked…
A white guy from Boston has trouble understanding race? Shocked.
Yeah. I felt really bad for her, because as he just kept talking you could see her face just settle into a frozen expression of "here we go again."
Hold up, Project Greenlight is still a thing? Did I wake up this morning back in the year 2000? Or shouldn’t this be tagged under “Throwback Jams” like the Vanity Fair article?
Basically this show is a case study in why institutional racism in Hollywood isn’t going anywhere for a long time. Almost everybody in the room was a white guy, almost all the applicants were white guys, and what did they do? They hired a white guy. Because apparently accounting for a different perspective in hiring a…

I know nothing about the show (European here) so please tell me if I am wrong (because I really want to be). Is the only person of colour ALSO the only woman? In which case it really tells something about their idea of diversity; “ok guys, we need one POC, one female, let’s just make that the same person, check, much…
Just so we’re clear, Matt Damon thinks that diversity in Hollywood amounts to simply hiring people of color to be in the movies—not allowing them any power to make the movies themselves.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are insufferable assholes and I don’t know why we keep rewarding them for it. Ben made a terrible white savior movie and then played himself in Gone Girl. What about that qualifies him for comeback status? I will never get over the time that he was like “I don’t want to be seen as some…
b-b-b-but he’s white. he knows everything. what could the little brown woman possibly teach him?
Ugh. I now more fully understand why he and Ben Affleck are besties. I was under the delusion that he was maybe, somehow, less of a douchebag, but maybe not.
Full Disclosure: I don’t really dislike Matt Damon. He is just being a dumb ass in this case and needs to be told so.
What a toolbag. And the craziest thing is, all he had to go was NOTHING. Just listen to her, not even add to what she's saying, just listen with his ears and then maybe his brain. It should be easy!
Hands up who is most shocked by the guy’s name?
