Last week the U.S. Supreme Court stuck down Affirmative Action in higher education when they reversed affirmative action after 62 years. The Supreme set new limits on affirmative action programs in cases involving whether public and private colleges and universities can continue to use race as one factor among many in student admissions. After decades of fighting for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in films and television, both behind and in front of the camera, Hollywood is flipping the script.
In similar but unrelated news, four Diversity, Equity and Inclusion officers in Hollywood were fired the very next day.
Actress Yvette Nicole Brown took to her Instagram page and wrote:
