Quote:The Rules (this year)False on all fronts.
1. If you make an assessment of someone based on skin color - you are racist.
2. If you make an assessment of someone based on their genitalia - you are sexist.
3. If you make an assessment of someone based on the number of years they have lived - you are ageist.
4. Unless it's a middle aged white male. Then he simply fits the profile.

Years have been overwhelmingly middle age white men, perhaps that organiser's ageist, racist, sexist views are understandable...to a degree (which they doubtless lacked, by my reckoning)...but no, not really...surely...thoughts AF?Most villains are white. Because most characters are still white. Because the majority of actors are still white.
