Breitbart Reports: The growing backlash against DEI has Hollywood elites hitting the panic button.
At the annual CAA Amplify Summit in Ojai, California, this week, various Hollywood leaders pow-wowed with assorted figures from the left, including former first lady Michelle Obama as well as leaders of the ACLU and HRC.
One of the main topics of discussion was DEI — or, in yet another case of left-wing alphabet creep, “DEIA” — diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
CAA power agent Maha Dakhil told attendees there is a “crisis” as Hollywood studios are pulling back their diversity efforts, according to a report from The Wrap.
“This year feels particularly crucial. I’m having déjà vu because I think I stood up here last year and said, ‘I think this year feels particularly crucial,’” she reportedly said. “But I think we can agree that this year is giving trauma, it is giving chaos, it’s giving crisis.”
She was referring at least in part to the recent exodus of DEI executives at major studios including Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Netflix. More broadly, many corporations and universities are moving to dump DEI amid a popular backlash against wokeness as well as efforts by GOP lawmakers to put an end to DEI indoctrination in education and government.

What amazes me is that these ignorants think that we are all listening to what they have to say! Audiences globally have rejected this trash. Disney operates at a loss. LucasFilm hasn't earned a profit yet from the initial purchase from Lucas yet.
