Disney Hit with Federal Civil Rights Complaint over DEI — Alleges Discrimination Against White Men, Christians, and Jews
These quotas are often disguised as “diversity and inclusion policies” but in some cases, Disney has publicly listed actual percentages when it comes to hiring for its productions.
Among the published quotas is the goal that 50 percent of Disney’s TV series directors must come from “underrepresented groups.”
“It is patently unlawful to consider racial, ethnic, and sex-based characteristics in hiring, training, compensation, and promotion,” America First Legal said in its complaint. “Decades of case law have held that policies that impose racial balancing or quotas in employment, training, or recruitment, such as those presented on Disney’s websites, are prohibited.”
The complaint also cites a leaked internal Disney document that was published by Elon Musk on X.
Nolte: Math-Challenged Disney Exec Blames Sexist Fans for Serial Flops
This was told to Puck by a Disney executive. Yes, this is what Disney’s executives— the people in charge — think.
This is extraordinary.
For just a moment, let’s forget the politics. Instead, we will focus on…The Math.
Question…
What is required to create a box office hit? Here in the States, when it comes to an expensive blockbuster like a Marvel or Star Wars piece of crap movie, you’re talking about $300 million gross. So, if the Disney Grooming Syndicate needs $300 million to have a hit on its hands, how many tickets must Disney sell? The answer is about 33 million.
That 33 million might sound like a lot, but it’s less than ten percent of the U.S. population.
And when you consider that most blockbusters are powered by repeat business, it’s even less than 33 million/ten percent, but let’s stick with that 33 million number.
Do you see where I’m going here?
What we have here is someone who’s risen to an executive level at a multinational corporation like Disney and who is still stupid enough to believe that more than 90 percent of the American population is sexist. Think about it… When less than ten percent of the population is required to turn your movie into a hit, and you blame your flops on sexism, you must believe that more than 90 percent of the population is sexist.
What’s more, this idiot Disney exec must also believe that most of the people who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 are sexist. Hillary got nearly 66 million votes. Only half of those voters are needed to turn Disney movies into financial successes, so there you go.
'Why do I need an all-Black cast?' Disney criticizes Peltz remarks
Peltz, whose fight to join Disney as a director has become one of the year's most bitter and closely watched board battles, in an interview with the Financial Times said Disney's films have become too focused on delivering a message, and not enough on quality storytelling. He specifically took issue with "The Marvels" and "Black Panther."
“Why do I have to have a Marvel that’s all women? Not that I have anything against women, but why do I have to do that?" Peltz said in the interview, published on Friday. "Why can’t I have Marvels that are both? Why do I need an all-Black cast?”
Asked about Peltz's remarks, a Disney spokesperson responded: "This is exactly why Nelson Peltz shouldn't be anywhere near a creatively driven company."
The fight by Peltz and his Trian Fund is pitting a prominent activist investor, who says he works well with target companies, against Disney's Bob Iger, a talented media industry CEO who returned to the company's top job in November 2022 with a mission to reinvigorate Disney.
Iger in his autobiography, "The Ride of a Lifetime," said he had pushed to diversify the Marvel films, which initially had been built around white male characters.

I gave it a solid 25 minutes, in that time the only piece of content he said was "Disney admitted to entering into illegal agreements". He mentioned a ton of times that he called everything and was right, but never explained how he was right, what he "called", etc. Didn't provide the implications of the legal ruling, nothing.
24 of the 25 minutes I watched was him reading comments from his viewers about how cool he is and that apparently you should move to Asia to get a waifu.
He spent more time trying to get people to e-mail him for curated trips through the redlight districts of Asia then talking about the Disney property law dispute.

Politico ran a story yesterday under the goofy headline, “The Disney-DeSantis détente is here.” Haha! By “détante,” Politico meant “DeSantis beat Disney like a drum.” And by “is here,” Politico mean it is a fait accomplí.
As a reminder, the trouble began in 2021, when Disney officially supported pushing pornography in Florida’s classrooms. The entertainment giant also insisted that elementary-school kids should be taught about alternative sexual lifestyles. Florida’s legislature disagreed with all the mega-corporate activism, and responded censoriously by stripping Disney’s special tax status, taking away its own home-ruled company county, and setting up a Governor-appointed board to supervise the whole mess.
But Disney’s super-sneaky lawyers executed a bunch of property transfers, and signed several binding contracts right before the new law took effect, trying to tie everything up in legal red tape and make the Governor’s newly-appointed board an instant nullity having nothing to supervise.
The legislature responded by voiding everything Disney’s ethically-questionable lawyers did. Touché, mon ami.
So last year, Disney sued the Governor, the legislature, and every other Florida official the Mouse thought might somehow be involved. This week the parties settled that lawsuit. Here’s how Politico actually described the settlement that its headline called a ‘détente’:
To the extent it happened at all, any “détente” must have occurred outside the settlement agreement. Politico suggested that Disney got a win out of the deal because right before the settlement, DeSantis appointed a new board chairman that Disney probably likes better, because “she is seen as qualified for the job.”
Uh huh. Have some freedom fries.
Most corporate media described Disney’s spanking as a tie. But for a change, the Wall Street Journal played the story straight:
That’s better. DeSantis—100; Disney—0.

Disney claims it had 'First Amendment right' to fire Mandalorian actress Gina Carano over her trans tweets
- Disney's attorneys are fighting to dismiss the suit brought against the company by Mandalorian actress Gina Carano over her 2021 firing
- Carano was terminated due to a number of politically-tinged social media posts, including one that used Holocaust imagery in the context of modern US politics
Disney is arguing it had a First Amendment right to fire 'Mandalorian' actress Gina Carano after she posted tweets that were out-of-step with the trans-rights movement, and an image the company claims was controversial as it pertained to the Holocaust.
Carano sued the House of Mouse in February claiming the company broke the law then it retaliated against her for expressing personal political beliefs.
Attorneys for the mega-entertainment brand filed a motion on Tuesday to dismiss the suit, arguing the company has a 'constitutional right not to associate its artistic expression with Carano's speech.'
The actress's suit is being funded by X-owner Elon Musk, who offered last August to fund lawsuits of employees who had been terminated for their posts on his platform.
Carano, 41, was fired in February of 2021 after she compared the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany to conservatives in modern America.

Disney Bleeding: Pixar Slashes 14% of Workforce Amid Brutal Budget Cuts
The once-mighty Pixar is laying off 14 percent of its workforce as the Walt Disney Company continues to make brutal budget cuts across its many businesses.
Pixar Animation Studios is slashing about 175 jobs, or 14 percent of its staff, due in large part to Disney+ reducing the number of series it is putting out, according to a Deadline report. Earlier estimates had put the layoffs closer to 20 percent of staff.
Like the rest of Disney, Pixar has embraced woke content, putting out titles like Lightyear and Elemental, which both bombed at the box office.
Elemental featured a gender “non-binary” character who uses “they/them” pronouns — a fact that Disney kept hidden from the public in the lead-up to the movie’s release.
