The billionaire Bezos and Amazon Studios promote race and gender quotas
Following in the wake of similar actions taken by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in Hollywood, as well as the Disney empire, Amazon Studios the television and film producer and distributor, and subsidiary of Amazon has adopted an “Inclusion Policy” that is an unabashed race and gender quota system.
Such policies, which have an obvious public relations value in the present political context but come at little financial cost to giant corporations, have no socially or economically progressive substance. They do not represent any democratizing or, for example, anti-monopolistic trend. Film, television and other media remain firmly under the control of a handful of enormous firms Disney, Comcast, AT&T, ViacomCBS, Sony and Fox, in particular.
