Christian Bale: America would be much better if it was more multicultural

[Shinra1]

During the discussion, Bale brought up the importance of diversity in positions of power, especially in current American culture.

“Our culture will be so much richer the day that we stop saying ‘Hey it’s all white dudes who are running things,’” he said. “Whether that be Hollywood, whether that be Washington, you know. We’re going to get, in Hollywood, so much better films and so much more interesting stories being told and America will become the America that the rest of the world sees it as, that makes it unique … that we recognize makes this such a beautiful, brilliant country.”

I personally agree, America needs to elect more women and people of colour into the government and eliminate any radical nationalist sentiment.

Careful: People on these forums confuse "people of different ethnicities and backgrounds doing different jobs" with "sharia law."


Expect discussion to follow suit.

I choked on my hot chocolate reading this. Too funny!

Once liberals stop using skin color, gender and identity politics in every sentence America will definitely be great again.

our country's the most diverse on the planet. anyone that says there's no diversity here is an idiot.

also, diversity shouldn't come into mind when hiring people for a job. diversity should happen naturally, if people of color or people of different white ethnicities get elected, that's how it should be. you shouldn't force people into positions just because of skin color.

personally, i hope tulsi gabbard runs for president and wins next time. the fact that she's indian and hindu is meaningless to me, her policy is what matters to me.

Appeal to (pseudo)Authority?

I sorta agree with the sentiment in that diversity is always great (as long as its not forced diversity) due to the increase of points of view. however i feel that he also blanket covers all politics with the white dude statement, and thats where i dont really agree.
i think that the people running things should be those with whose morals, ideals and goals the people identify with, regardless of their colour religion etc etc etc.

murica dun goofed with Drumpf, but then again, muricas political system is absolute garbage so there isnt much they can do there.

I don't take political advice from Hollywood nutcases, tyvm.
These people live in their own bubble of sex, abuse, drugs and they are literally living in an enclave with only rich people.

[Talsar]

Yup, more cultural and ethnic diversity is always good imo.

America desperately needs some religious diversity though. Not being Christian basically disqualifies you from running for office.

Nice click bait title, since the comment was only about positions of power, not America in general.

it should not matter what color or gender you have. Aslong as you can do the job, And do it well. We shouldn't vote people in because of X reason, Other then they are the best suited for the job.

[Daedius]

Forced diversity sucks...

You just described the American conservative government.

He isn't even American himself, is he? I'll have to double check, but I was convinced that he's actually British.

I'm also rather unsettled by the lack of an acknowledgement of the diversity that exists where Caucasians are concerned. My view is that diversity for the sake of diversity is a sinister thing. Organic diversity is not.

You could have just left out conservative.

Derpkitteh (I typed this with a straight face!), you're being wholly unreasonable here. Just because America has a large mix of people of from different ethnicities doesn't mean it is diverse. This is exactly the point that Mr. Bale is making (did you watch the short video?), that is, white men running everything in a system that solely benefits them and then having all the people of colour and women being put into boxes is not diversity, its the opposite.


Finally, Singapore is the most multiculturally successful country in the world. If you don't believe me look it up. Its a beacon that all the Western countries should look up to as the prototype for a diverse and functional society.

People vote for who they want to vote for.. Are you going to force certain candidates through against the will of the people in order to fulfill some quota?

[Skulltaker]

It would be much better if there was some actualy democracy.

Thank god!

Literally every single government on this planet fits this description, without exception.
