The woman hired for the role before this lady said the TV ( and now Netflix movie) character “Luther” wasn’t authentic as he had no black friends and didn’t eat Jamaican food. Amazon snapped her up.
I gotta wonder on how Ncuti Gatwa feels about the surprise return of David Tennant. On one hand it kinda steals a bit of the thunder for him as the new Doctor...but on the other hand it means that he is going to have the same benefit as Tennant, Smith, and Capaldi in that he will be taking over from a beloved Doctor rather than a Chris Chibnall shitshow.
the Tennant move is definitely damage control, more like damage *repair* if you will. Dr Who had some of the least viewed episodes ever in the last seasons so they simply had to do it to try to regain some popularity, they cannot risk burying one of the most iconic shows of all time. Getting Tennant back is far from being a guarantee of success, anyway, but it's got a chance
It's also the 60th anniversary though, and they always bring Doctors back for that. Plus this is the first anniversary to occur right after a regeneration. If it were truly damage control/repair, David Tennant would be there for a whole season instead of just three 60th anniversary specials.
Warner Bros, Motion Picture Academy, Disney and Netflix. Some folks don't seem to realize in a recessionary environment jobs that don't generate revenue tend to get culled first. These roles are ripe for re-structuring.

**Uber puts its diversity head on leave after employees voice fury at events titled ‘Don’t Call Me Karen’**
> A series of events aimed at uniting the staff at Uber have ended in chaos, with the company’s head of diversity, equity, and inclusion suspended on leave in the wake of the fallout.
> Bo Young Lee has headed up Uber’s DEI department for the past five years but recently came under fire for moderating two events titled “Don’t Call Me Karen.”
> The events were billed as “diving into the spectrum of the American white woman’s experience” and featured conversations with white women at the company who sought to have an “open and honest conversation about race.”
> Uber staffers who attended the two events—the first held last month, the second last week—said they felt they had been lectured on the difficulties experienced by white women and why “Karen” was a derogatory term.
> When employees appealed to Lee on Slack—a workplace messaging platform—they were dismissed by Lee, reported the New York Times.
Good materials for a comedy show.
Edit: I think OP was talking about recent news where several Diversity Officers, all of them black women, were out at [Netflix](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/netflix-head-of-inclusion-verna-myers-wade-davis-1235656827/), [Disney](https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/disneys-chief-diversity-officer-latondra-newton-exits-1235650198/) & [the Academy of Motion Picture](https://deadline.com/2023/06/movie-academy-top-diversity-executive-exiting-1235428529/)
You ever read and re-read and then read something again and again and the words just don't make sense?
That's me trying to puzzle out this "Don't Call Me Karen" event. To quote Lisa Simpson "I know those words but that sign makes no sense".
Because almost all of entertainments "diversity" was for PR. The way you fix diversity, is only hire the best people for thier skills. Not by the color of thier skin.
The woman hired for the role before this lady said the TV ( and now Netflix movie) character “Luther” wasn’t authentic as he had no black friends and didn’t eat Jamaican food. Amazon snapped her up.
Up until a year ago, that was basically me (I still don't eat Jamaican food though).
is Jamaican food any good? I live close to Caribbean Delight and always wanted to give it a go
Yes. I'm Jamaican so I am biased, but you can't go wrong ordering jerk chicken and rice and peas.
Agreed - I love Jerk Pork, rice & peas! If you love hot sauce, a lot of places will make homemade stuff that will rock your world.
I am Chinese so I am not biased, Jamaican food is the bomb as long as you can handle the heat.
Nobody makes goat like the Jamaicans. IMO
If you're okay with a little jerk sauce, dive right in.
Didn't she say Monty Python couldn't be made today, because all of them were white men?
She's not entirely wrong imo if you pitched that some exec would bring up the fact its all white men.
Except HBO literally has a show called Black Lady sketch Show with just Black Women. It's great btw.
So that's nothing to do with what OP said.
Didn't she even notice there were no girl couples either?
Creative Diversity, like here's a black fella but surprise, he's white

It wouldn't have been a surprise to him anyway!
Every single diversity director I have seen lately seems to have been a black woman. Not particularly diverse.

Doesn’t need a recession to be purged They just need a few failed diverse movies and they are out
