@@mikehanna1981 "Being as the interviewer herself was black, she should know about black culture." Why? A black person born in Norway will know white culture, some black culture like food from Africa perhaps, maybe some rap, but that's about it. A black person born in Somalia will have a VASTLY different culture than that of a black person born in Chicago, for instance. Black culture, white culture or Asian culture is not something shared by all that fit into that group, it's also regional and time period. White culture in Norway is much different than white culture in Mexico (yes, Mexicans are Caucasian, white).
Right! I love his answer. Culture certainly makes a difference. Ideally you want someone who understands the culture to make the film about it. But that isn't about meeting some diversity quota. It's about the nature of the story. If the nature of the story is 17th century Denmark, no surprise the cast and director are white.
That won't stop racism. In fact, that's censorship. Let people say whatever they wanna say. If they're racist, they don't fit in today's society. Simple as that. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

As usual, Denzel is spot on. Culture often matters when creating art. There was nothing racist or discriminatory about Seinfeld, or Friends, or Sanford and Son, or The Jeffersons and many other shows that cast predominantly from one particular race. They’re just shows about culture that are relevant to a particular audience. Americans will never be at peace with each other when they are forced to be together. They have to come to each other naturally.
Exactly. Imagine if the Jeffersons or Family Matters were criticized for not having enough white people. They were perfect the way they were. Not every show or movie should have diversity for the sake of diversity, that's not real life.
This is completely true. The race is purely a social construct as science and biology simply does not support those claims. To me this is idiotic, not only humans invented racism back in the days when they did not understand how things work in biology, but today this idiotic concept is widely accepted as something real and people are falling for it every day all over the world. Those who accept this concept as a real thing are racist, no matter they are fighting against racism as they say. So races do not exist in reality, but racism does, and all because of the stupid people who simply can not see beyond a simple amount of melanin in our skin.
@@BojanBojovic, how can it be "purely a social construct" when anthropologist can determine the race from your bones? To say that race is just amount of melanin is nonsense, it's like saying that a very tanned white man becomes black. Also you literally deny existence of asian race
@@AleksandrYgA This is simply not true, forensic anthropologists CAN NOT determine the race from your bones. Forensic anthropologist even do not agree on what the race actually means as the scientists mostly do not accept it as a real thing. Around 100 years ago they had 4 main characteristics with race being one, however today the scientist use 3 ways to determine the remains, and even if they talk about what you call a race they call it ancestry and it is nowhere near to how you look at it. One way of determine your ancestry is by examining your scull, as they look at your pelvis to see if you are a male or a female. But this only divide skeletons into 3 broad groups which says broadly from which part of the world your ancestry is. This is not the race in the same context as you want to believe. If you are white today, your ancestors had dark skin if you go far enough into the past. And yes, a white human can get darker skin if the conditions that he and his descendants are changed permanently for a long period of time. There is no Asian race, the fact that some humans look a bit differently than some other humans does not imply that they are a different race. They are not and the science does not agree with that at all. It is all in your mind, the differences are only superficial, and they reflect your own cultural background and habits. This was made by white people in the past as only white Europeans were doing forensic anthropology, so naturally as everything with humans if something is different than it may be foreign, like skin colour, like religion, like nationality, like everything else. We humans gather around our myths, this is what made as the animal we are today, however this is in the same time what holds as back today. What are you, a creationist to believe such nonsense and be so close minded?
Yup. I’ve seen him go off on rants about how suburban whites, who are painted as the racist devils, show up to his shows and scream and buy his albums. He talks about how white people made him rich, and you don’t give people money if you don’t like them.
Lil Wayne is one of the coolest and most intelligent rappers out there. Dont let his looks deceive you. He had a platinum record at 17yo before he even graduated. He was shot once by accident and black guys from his hood stepped over him trying to escape just let him lie and die on the floor if it was not for that white cop who rushed at the scene and saved his life that is what shaped his ideas on race too. Google it tru story
Denzel Washington taking the time to teach people on why exactly they are ignorant is pure class. He could just rant and brush them off, but he is so patient :D
Notice he’s doesn’t get angry either. It’s easy to get enraged when someone is indirectly slandering your character. Even when you’re right, once you get angry, the opposing side won’t truly understand you. The anger isn’t how you feel about the topic usually. The anger/frustration is a defensive response that overshadows what you really want to convey to the other person.
The vikings did make it to the Mediterranean, and they took slaves from all over the area. There were a few black people that made their way back to the Scandanavian nations.

@@sonadorazul3074Considering the movie industry in Los Angeles was built by mostly Jewish Businessmen, you would expect that Jewish people would be overly represented in that industry.

@sonadorazul3074 I’m actually liberal-minded but requiring diversity in all films is crazy. Also, looking at Jewish entertainers is one aspect, but look at the executives and studio owners, they control what we see. It will be a very high percentage Jewish.

@@markbrown4931 And another diagnosed case of TDS where someone manages to interject the man into a conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with him.
It's a Marxist strategy to kill the ability for European White people, specifically Christians and non-Jewish ones, to be proud of their history and their culture. It is a demoralization tactic and it seems to have worked on White women atleast, who are more than likely to go against their ethnicity, their culture and their race on just about any issue. They want "multiculturalism" shown even in anachronistic settings like the European Middle Ages, because then the new generations will grow up thinking - "of course, Black Africans have always been here, so I have no issue letting in hundreds of millions into our countries, because it's sort of like them coming back".
To think diversity is a political thing is ignoring the main fact that nature itself is diverse. All of it. I understand you’re referring to social movements, which you may agree or not, but let’s just not forget diversity is organic, it happens whether we like it or not. It’s beyond opinions.
Lil Wayne has my respect; for those of you in Hollywood who think there isn’t enough “representation “ stand by your beliefs and quit your job. Go flip some burgers in the real world.
Denzel is really, REALLY good with this stuff. He doesn't suffer fools and doesn't care about your skin color. He doesn't claim that anyone is racist because they have a different experience, he just recognized where those experiences can best be applied. If he thought a white director was the best option for a "black story", he'd hire the white director. I think there is a growing list of Hollywood actors, directors and the like that are coming around on all of this diversity BS. They're not saying much publicly, but the more little interactions like these happen, the more it's going to spread.
This is so obvious that it's painful. A good modern example would be Nick Fury in the MCU. A LOT of comic book fans hate this "diversity and inclusion" bullshit, but no one was whining about Samuel L Jackson being Nick Fury. Why? Because he is Samuel Fucking Jackson. Same reason why gamers worldwide made Grand Theft Auto one of the largest franchises. San Andreas had a black protagonist with a shit ton of black characters. Everyone loved it more than the sequel, GTA 4, with an [Eastern European] and a whole lot of white people. It's the quality of the product and the motivations behind it, not race that matters. The 2002 GTA Vice City had an Italian protagonist, wasn't as popular either.
@@criert135 Thank God you corrected me, I decided to put GTA 4 as the example instead of Vice City, but I ended up mixing the details. The protagonist of GTA 4 is Eastern European, his nationality isn't clear. Tommy from Vice city is Italian. I went with GTA 4 because it was a bigger hit and a sequel to SA, but it still isn't remember as fondly, even if the protagonist is European. The example is pretty much the same, but the impact of a sequel is bigger to the point I am making. People didn't give a damn about a mostly black cast and protagonist, and they didn't put the game with European protagonists above SA, because SA was really the perfect GTA experience for the time, and only GTA V managed to improve a lot on the formula.
Yes but it’s only because he is big enough that he can say whatever he wants. You can’t cancel Denzel - he’s too cool, too popular and experienced for cancel culture to work On him
@@freedomextremist7215 The "black Nick Fury" is a special case. The comic books had already years before created a "black Nick Fury" using the multiverse ploy, so the movie was comic-book-accurate in that respect. Moreover, the comic artists had actually used Samuel L. Jackson as the model for their black Nick Fury character. When Samuel L. Jackson discovered his visage being used, he threatened legal action against Marvel. They settled out of court on the provision that if they ever used Nick Fury in a movie, they had to hire him. So, the movie was twice comic-book-accurate.
They're absolutely right. The movie "Roots" wasn't very diverse and inclusive either, so they should remake it to reflect their "inclusive and diverse" agenda. Ohhh, so suddenly "inclusivity and diversity" doesn't matter anymore? Typical Hypocritewood
@@slovnicurling9808not sure if you've never had conversations with people out side your ethnic community or something, Denzel was talking , he was explaining with an example , I don't see any ego.

If you can't put words to it - it might be helpful to associate with a wide variety of people to get to know how "others" express ideas.
@@007Hutchings He wasn't referring to Morgan Freeman from this clip as he's obviously not in it. But Freeman has done many interviews where he's expressed his frustration with wokeness.
Not once, in my 38 years have i looked for myself to be "represented" in movies or television. Movies and tv are a way to escape reality. What good are they if all they do is LOOK like reality??
"Diversity" is really just their way to hide their own "bigotry". They want to tick the box for X ethnicity, because they are incapable of seeing people as anything other than their skin color. Which is, the definition of, racism.
I think he switched after the first reactions. I feel like he would have begun in a different way and used the "do you?" to his advantage instead, if it was the original plan.
No, the man was clearly trying to ask (in non-native language) how Mads feels about the strict diversity rules imposed to be eligible for an oscar. I actually don't care for Mads anymore after this because he was unnecessarily defensive, dismissive and rude@@larsjrgensen5975
Giving somebody a role a movie or a job interview because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism. Most people cant get their head around that. Unfortunately that's the crazy woke world we live in these days.
I mean, when it comes to Actors they need to fulfill certain requirements in order to play the role. Requirements based on skill and biological factors. A short black girl can't play the role made for a tall white man. But, beyond the role of acting, I agree.
@@nathanlee6099 Now you have traditionally white characters being played by all kinds of different people, which to me kinda ruins the story. You don't see some white guy playing "malcolm x" either

Listening to Denzel Washington saying these simple yet deep and wise words sends shivers down my spine every time. Beautiful way to diffuse those provoking questions.
They dealt with it in the best and most appropriate way. Exposing the idiocy and the moronic question for what it is: nothing more than a transparent attempt to divide people.
Mikkelsen's cough was a here we go cough to his partner. They knew this question would come up even though they portrayed a historically accurate film.
Never thought I’d agree with Lil Wayne but he hit the nail on the head. So many successful folks across all areas of business, medicine, engineering, politics, and the arts. Can we stop with the victim mindset and start working to improve the culture?
@@Howdydoody23 I think people would gladly leave it in the past when many in law enforcement stop living like black people are fugitive slaves or we're still in the Jim Crow era.
Is Denzel Washington not aware of "The Color Purple"? Does he think Spielberg failed to grasp the core of the characters in that masterpiece because of cultural differences?
I think the reporter at the start wasn't raising the issue of the lack of diversity but rather the rule that was put in place that prevents certain films from competing in certain award competitions due to these new diversity standards.
He raised the issue to virtue signal. “Look at me! I’m being moral! I’m standing up for the rights of the oppressors…erm, the oppressed!” He’s a coward or an activist or both. Either way, it’s ridiculous.
@@UnskilledGrappler He did not. His actual point was "How is it ok for an all Asian movie to be eligible for an Oscar but an all White movie is not". He took too long to get to the point he was trying to make so now everyone thinks he is woke when in fact he is the opposite.
@@JerryMetal After the interviewer asked the question Mads said he doesn't understand the question and the director said something about that they have a little girl of color in the movie and racism bla bla...so no, those 2 are not as based as the first half of the interview portrays them as.
Exactly! He's pointing out that there's nothing "diverse" about an all-Korean cast in a Korean movie, but Hollywoke sees it as, "Asians are minorities IN AMERICA, therefore this qualifies." Meanwhile, all Danes in a Danish film doesn't qualify because they're white. And as much as I love Mads, YES, you should be concerned dude, because awards matter the most for indie films. Again, look at Parasite: winning the Oscar for Best Picture skyrocketed that movie's reach and sales. Meanwhile, I still have no idea what Mads' new film is called. That's the power of awards, so eligibility is a big friggin deal.
I don't think the first reporter was trying to put them on the spot. On the contrary, I believe he was trying to bring up the point of the absurdness of the quota rule, and whether they were worried about the impact it might have in their film.
No he was virtue signalling and yes did try put them on the spot.... its why they all do ask these type of questions, they don't care about the movies or the tv shows in any possible way.
@@SoloGamingZA nope, the OG comment is right. His question is just "are you worried your film will suffer, due to the new diversity rules in Hollywood?", and not "why isn't your movie more diverse?". The extreme obsession with diversity is a very American thing, don't get it mixed up. The chance that this danish reporter cares about diversity in movies is small.
@@SoloGamingZA No, he was focusing on the fact that they weren't eligible to be considered for some awards because of their 'lack of diversity' and even compared it to another film with an equally homogenous cast that was eligible simply because they were Korean. The journalist was trying to get them to comment on how diversity quotas place unreasonable burdens on films and punish filmmakers who want to tell an accurate story.
@@SoloGamingZA You're wrong. It's why he mentioned Parasite as an example where there is no diversity but was still eligible but this being a Danish production and thus being all white could be seen as lack of diversity. He was worried for the filmmakers. The filmmakers misunderstood him and so did you.
@@SoloGamingZAYep, truly this. Intelligent people understand, nowadays, when someone says the word "diversity" what they really are trying to do. This guy had a plan A then switched to plan b, when they shut him down. Pure virtue signaling. Both routes were even boring anyways.
I'm not sure. If you actually watch the longer version of the video. It seems like the guy is trying to take a swipe at the Oscars and other US ceremonies for their ethics and diversity conditions on nominations.
Did he really say "Ma'am" at the end? Or... "man"? I'm not sure (and am being too lazy atm to listen multiple times and still not be sure anyway). Seems like "man" might be more in his wheelhouse/lingo... even if it were a "misgendering", haha. He wouldn't be using the latter with any ill-will, of course
@@markbrown4931 it was "Ma'am". Him using "Ma'am" was his way of "politely" shutting her down. I work in factories and we use the same language. You can say crappy things and say "sir" or "ma"am" and it shows compliance and humility, but also sarcasm, but it lets you say things that people would normally take offense to, but if you use a "formal" term for them, then it makes it harder for them to call you out. Usually swear words need to be absent and body language counts. And she was being a jerk. He saw it. He had a retort and still was showing her more respect than she was showing him.
@@EvgeneXI I mean talking about political parties and politicians, Biden or Trump etc, I wouldn’t say he’s a republican but he’s definitely not a Democrat, I don’t think he will talk about who he would vote for, like Chris Pratt is a conservative, he never will get involved with politics because you will get cancelled for it
LOL! "Its a movie that takes place in the 1750's Denmark" But we all know that to the crazies over here, that excuse is still not good enough...so now they'll be cancelled as "racist" and "White Supremacists"
I actually think the Mikklesen question was quite a good question if you really listening to what he is asking and the whole question. He is asking is it fair that the South Korean movie can be put up for the award when it is just South Koreans, but you can’t when it is just Nordic people - basically he asking is the new diversity requirements fair - maybe he just phrased it inarticulately.
He asked the question in a long winded roundabout way instead of starting off with Parasite is not diverse and allowed... why is not the Nordic? The director then chiming in with trying to justify the black girl just made it painful.
When asking a question: 1. Get to the point 2. Make the question interesting 3. If you use the words 'diversity' then expect people to automatically ignore you. How stupid of a question is it, "Derp... This movie is made in South Korea, why are there mostly Koreans in this movie? Derp. "
Just goes to show -there exists a train of thought so unbelievably annoying that everybody of every race, culture, religion or nationality on earth pushes back against it.
The first question was actually a great question, he was asking if they cared about not winning any of the big American awards because they arent eligible to win them because they don't have enough diversity
Okay, I understand the Daily Caller is about outrage, but the first reporter actually had a good point. Parasite was considered a win for “diversity” in Hollywood after winning the Oscars, yet the Danish film wasn’t, even though they both have the same levels of diversity. He wasn’t trying to produce a gotcha moment.
He got caught in friendly fire. When so many interviewers ask about this diversity nonsense, there's bound to be one mixed in with the bunch even if they were asking a genuine question. At this point no one wants to even hear the word "diversity" for a good 10 years.
Wow! I was under the impression that Europe was doing this garbage as well? And I was so delighted to see Denzel bravely give his honest and obviously based opinion out there!
That's why the new Little Mernaid being black is so ridiculous. The Little Mermaid is a nordic folktale, she couldn't be black! That would be like having a blond girl from Los Angeles playing a geisha from a japanese folktale, or having a redhair white boy from Denmark playing a pharao from ancient Egypt. Ridiculous.
I used to think Denzel was cool and got it, but then in Equalizer 2 he's reading and encouraging others to read "Between the World and Me", which is as CRT/BLM as it gets.
The first reporter's question was a very good one, they just started answering before he finished. He was asking was about the impact of cultural marxism inside Western entertainment specifically, which is so important. I only wished he'd been able to ask it more eloquently.
In Britain we now have books published by Bloomsbury which say that black people built Stonehenge and were in fact the majority for most of British history. The attempt to erase history is shocking. If this continues I’ll be explaining to my children that we live in alien land
When everything is racist, nothing is. There are times where no black actors are needed in a film, others where all actors need to be black, depending on what the film is about and where it is set. I can not like a person, even if they are black, not liking someone is my perogative, maybe our characters clash. You know what is racist? Thinking black people can't do anything without being forcefully shoehorned into everything, even if it is absurd. Where are the Mongolians? I -rarely- never see any in any movies. Is that racist too?
2:56 Denzel Washington straight shooting as always ❤ fantastic breakdown. I've never gone through what he described. Not because of skin colour, but the culture.
Him and Morgan Freeman can't stand those types of questions or topics since they worked hard to be A list. I mean look at Denzel's first few movies. His leading man looks didn't equal the big paychecks for almost a decade a lesser actor would've quit
Meanwhile Denzel Washington is portraying Hannibal in a new movie. First of all, Washington is WAAAY too old for the part. Second, Hannibal was not black. Carthaginians were descendants of Phoenicians who were Middle Eastern. Not Nordic white, sure but not African black.
Denzel Washington does not fit there at all: he thinks that white people are all one bunch (what is Spielberg supposed to know about Italo-Americans?) and goes on with ranting about having to adjust his hair, meh.
Forcing others to conform really is off putting especially when your goal is to affect their craft. It’s good to ask certain questions however it isn’t so good to deliberately make it out to have an ulterior motive if not challenged. It’s good to see people want to shut down these ridiculous attempts to control how people should think and feel towards
DEI is a political agenda and if I think your movie or show is going to remind me of politics I will not watch. I use the things I watch as fun distractions that create fun conversation with the people I watch them with. Divisive topics ruin the fun.
What Denzel Washington said able culture is correct. There are things culturally that manifests itself when blacks “misbehave.” It’s the same for every social group and it’s not necessarily racial.
The world used to be much more homogeneous. That's not shocking or racist; it's just how it was. It was true for every people group. So trying to shoehorn these politics into period films makes no sense. It just produces an uncanny valley effect.
He even acted like he understood the question he was being asked. Sorry, I love him, but seeing how everyone got this wrong because he kept interrupting the (entirely valid) question is pretty cringe.
diversity was created by people who did not want to put effort in to get somewhere in life. there are plenty of SUCCESSFUL people of all different races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations that have become successful because they understood what the American Dream really is about: if you work hard, you have equal opportunity to succeed. it's not about the house and white picket fence, the kids and car in the driveway... that's just the visualization. the American Dream was that anyone from anywhere could have the chance to make something of themselves here. look back through our rough history. we had black slaves that worked hard, got freedom, were oppressed, and still managed to have individuals excel to the point that they are household names. you have gay men, lesbians, Indians, Native Americans, people from all over the world that have come here and WORKED HARD and get to enjoy their success. but now the diversity crowd just wants to belittle their hard work by forcing everyone else to allow the easy life for certain people. sorry, but i have too much respect for the men and women who worked themselves half to death to achieve success by their own blood, sweat, and tears to bow down to the diversity cult. if they do not have the merit, they don't deserve the credit.
To be fair to the Danish interviewer, he wasn’t criticising the film. He was asking if they were concerned the film would not be eligible for a Best Picture Oscar because of the insane diversity rules.
Yeah he made a good point. How is it fair for a movie with an all korean cast to be eligible for award nominations but another movie with all danish cast(white people) isn’t eligible? How is one more diverse than the other? It’s not and I think that the reporter just wasn’t articulate enough to explain that quickly.

Around 100 years ago they had 4 main characteristics with race being one, however today the scientist use 3 ways to determine the remains, and even if they talk about what you call a race they call it ancestry and it is nowhere near to how you look at it.
One way of determine your ancestry is by examining your scull, as they look at your pelvis to see if you are a male or a female. But this only divide skeletons into 3 broad groups which says broadly from which part of the world your ancestry is.
This is not the race in the same context as you want to believe. If you are white today, your ancestors had dark skin if you go far enough into the past. And yes, a white human can get darker skin if the conditions that he and his descendants are changed permanently for a long period of time.
There is no Asian race, the fact that some humans look a bit differently than some other humans does not imply that they are a different race. They are not and the science does not agree with that at all. It is all in your mind, the differences are only superficial, and they reflect your own cultural background and habits.
This was made by white people in the past as only white Europeans were doing forensic anthropology, so naturally as everything with humans if something is different than it may be foreign, like skin colour, like religion, like nationality, like everything else. We humans gather around our myths, this is what made as the animal we are today, however this is in the same time what holds as back today.
What are you, a creationist to believe such nonsense and be so close minded?
Well friends is already being criticized for being too white, I'm waiting for them to complain about mash being too white lol
I love how lol Wayne’s response is a pure example of someone who isn’t brainwashed, being confused about the insane premise of a woke movement.
Yup. I’ve seen him go off on rants about how suburban whites, who are painted as the racist devils, show up to his shows and scream and buy his albums. He talks about how white people made him rich, and you don’t give people money if you don’t like them.
Or someone who thinks world revolves around him and his experiences define whole humanity
Or someone who has been too long too high to make up a clear thought 😄
@@fevkaladeninfevkiif you’ve seen any lil Wayne interview you would know that’s not the case
Lil Wayne is one of the coolest and most intelligent rappers out there. Dont let his looks deceive you. He had a platinum record at 17yo before he even graduated.
He was shot once by accident and black guys from his hood stepped over him trying to escape just let him lie and die on the floor if it was not for that white cop who rushed at the scene and saved his life that is what shaped his ideas on race too. Google it tru story
Lil Wayne calling it weird is pure gold.
Denzel Washington taking the time to teach people on why exactly they are ignorant is pure class. He could just rant and brush them off, but he is so patient :D
Notice he’s doesn’t get angry either. It’s easy to get enraged when someone is indirectly slandering your character. Even when you’re right, once you get angry, the opposing side won’t truly understand you. The anger isn’t how you feel about the topic usually. The anger/frustration is a defensive response that overshadows what you really want to convey to the other person.
My favorite actor. He’s the GOAT in my humble opinion.
They made a movie about 17th century denmark and included a black woman. Thats hilarious.
The vikings did make it to the Mediterranean, and they took slaves from all over the area. There were a few black people that made their way back to the Scandanavian nations.
@cianmacgana9092 I haven't seen the film. I don't know it's plot. I was just stating a fact.

Seinfeld's remarks were spot on. Funny is the only relevant demographic.
Don't come at me with your pie charts calculators and judgmental authoritarian decrees.
Lil Wayne wss spot in too!!!
But let's see the charts of percentage of Hollywood who is jewish
@@sonadorazul3074 If there were a sound of a person entirely missing a point you'd be hearing it right now.
@@sonadorazul3074Considering the movie industry in Los Angeles was built by mostly Jewish Businessmen, you would expect that Jewish people would be overly represented in that industry. Just like the NHL has a large percentage of Canadians since it’s one of their most played sports in their country so you’d expect them to be overly represented at the highest level of the sport.
@sonadorazul3074 I’m actually liberal-minded but requiring diversity in all films is crazy. Also, looking at Jewish entertainers is one aspect, but look at the executives and studio owners, they control what we see. It will be a very high percentage Jewish.
Whenever the person getting interviewed pushes back the interviewer always says, "well I don't personally care but a lot of people on the Internet are asking."
No. No they aren't.
I disagree. Twitter is it's own world of stupidity and people on there absolutely complain about this nonsense

It's a Marxist strategy to kill the ability for European White people, specifically Christians and non-Jewish ones, to be proud of their history and their culture. It is a demoralization tactic and it seems to have worked on White women atleast, who are more than likely to go against their ethnicity, their culture and their race on just about any issue. They want "multiculturalism" shown even in anachronistic settings like the European Middle Ages, because then the new generations will grow up thinking - "of course, Black Africans have always been here, so I have no issue letting in hundreds of millions into our countries, because it's sort of like them coming back".
Imagine being a grown male, and asking another grown male about "diversity".
These aren't kids they're talking to; they don't have to play the game.
Liberals know no other way.
What's the difference between a grown male versus a grown female asking a question about diversity? Males and females are equal.
@@andrewd4413Conversations between males and females are also VERY different from how men talk to each other, and how females talk to each other.
To think diversity is a political thing is ignoring the main fact that nature itself is diverse. All of it. I understand you’re referring to social movements, which you may agree or not, but let’s just not forget diversity is organic, it happens whether we like it or not. It’s beyond opinions.
@@itsDelfi you did not just compare social diversity to nature.
Lil Wayne has my respect; for those of you in Hollywood who think there isn’t enough “representation “ stand by your beliefs and quit your job. Go flip some burgers in the real world.
Denzel is really, REALLY good with this stuff. He doesn't suffer fools and doesn't care about your skin color. He doesn't claim that anyone is racist because they have a different experience, he just recognized where those experiences can best be applied. If he thought a white director was the best option for a "black story", he'd hire the white director. I think there is a growing list of Hollywood actors, directors and the like that are coming around on all of this diversity BS. They're not saying much publicly, but the more little interactions like these happen, the more it's going to spread.
This is so obvious that it's painful. A good modern example would be Nick Fury in the MCU. A LOT of comic book fans hate this "diversity and inclusion" bullshit, but no one was whining about Samuel L Jackson being Nick Fury. Why? Because he is Samuel Fucking Jackson. Same reason why gamers worldwide made Grand Theft Auto one of the largest franchises. San Andreas had a black protagonist with a shit ton of black characters. Everyone loved it more than the sequel, GTA 4, with an [Eastern European] and a whole lot of white people. It's the quality of the product and the motivations behind it, not race that matters. The 2002 GTA Vice City had an Italian protagonist, wasn't as popular either.
@@freedomextremist7215Since when was Niko Bellic Italian?
@@criert135 Thank God you corrected me, I decided to put GTA 4 as the example instead of Vice City, but I ended up mixing the details. The protagonist of GTA 4 is Eastern European, his nationality isn't clear. Tommy from Vice city is Italian. I went with GTA 4 because it was a bigger hit and a sequel to SA, but it still isn't remember as fondly, even if the protagonist is European. The example is pretty much the same, but the impact of a sequel is bigger to the point I am making. People didn't give a damn about a mostly black cast and protagonist, and they didn't put the game with European protagonists above SA, because SA was really the perfect GTA experience for the time, and only GTA V managed to improve a lot on the formula.
Yes but it’s only because he is big enough that he can say whatever he wants. You can’t cancel Denzel - he’s too cool, too popular and experienced for cancel culture to work
On him
@@freedomextremist7215 The "black Nick Fury" is a special case. The comic books had already years before created a "black Nick Fury" using the multiverse ploy, so the movie was comic-book-accurate in that respect.
Moreover, the comic artists had actually used Samuel L. Jackson as the model for their black Nick Fury character. When Samuel L. Jackson discovered his visage being used, he threatened legal action against Marvel. They settled out of court on the provision that if they ever used Nick Fury in a movie, they had to hire him. So, the movie was twice comic-book-accurate.
They're absolutely right. The movie "Roots" wasn't very diverse and inclusive either, so they should remake it to reflect their "inclusive and diverse" agenda.
Ohhh, so suddenly "inclusivity and diversity" doesn't matter anymore?

Lil Waynes comeback was epic for real.
I'm so sick of this obsession with ticking the boxes all in the sake of "DIVERSITY". It's appalling and moronically insane...
"Diversity" is really just their way to hide their own "bigotry". They want to tick the box for X ethnicity, because they are incapable of seeing people as anything other than their skin color.
Which is, the definition of, racism.
@@user-we3me3dg1yYup, PC is just a cover for them to look like decent people but are probably the most racist people on the planet.

The first journalist was actually trying to point out the absurdity of the diversity rule. He was actually against the diversity rule.
Good to know.
Get over it !
100% agree, poor guy was misunderstood 😅
I think he switched after the first reactions.
I feel like he would have begun in a different way and used the "do you?" to his advantage instead, if it was the original plan.
No, the man was clearly trying to ask (in non-native language) how Mads feels about the strict diversity rules imposed to be eligible for an oscar. I actually don't care for Mads anymore after this because he was unnecessarily defensive, dismissive and rude@@larsjrgensen5975
Giving somebody a role a movie or a job interview because of the colour of their skin is the very definition of racism. Most people cant get their head around that. Unfortunately that's the crazy woke world we live in these days.
I mean, when it comes to Actors they need to fulfill certain requirements in order to play the role. Requirements based on skill and biological factors. A short black girl can't play the role made for a tall white man. But, beyond the role of acting, I agree.

Listening to Denzel Washington saying these simple yet deep and wise words sends shivers down my spine every time. Beautiful way to diffuse those provoking questions.
Loved that last section where she asks a multi-millionaire whether America understands that black lives matter.
They dealt with it in the best and most appropriate way. Exposing the idiocy and the moronic question for what it is: nothing more than a transparent attempt to divide people.
The new allstate commercial (I think) has a man playing a mommy. This whole thing has gone nuts!
Mikkelsen's cough was a here we go cough to his partner. They knew this question would come up even though they portrayed a historically accurate film.
Never thought I’d agree with Lil Wayne but he hit the nail on the head. So many successful folks across all areas of business, medicine, engineering, politics, and the arts. Can we stop with the victim mindset and start working to improve the culture?

@@Howdydoody23 I think people would gladly leave it in the past when many in law enforcement stop living like black people are fugitive slaves or we're still in the Jim Crow era.
Is Denzel Washington not aware of "The Color Purple"? Does he think Spielberg failed to grasp the core of the characters in that masterpiece because of cultural differences?
I think the reporter at the start wasn't raising the issue of the lack of diversity but rather the rule that was put in place that prevents certain films from competing in certain award competitions due to these new diversity standards.
He raised the issue to virtue signal. “Look at me! I’m being moral! I’m standing up for the rights of the oppressors…erm, the oppressed!”
He’s a coward or an activist or both. Either way, it’s ridiculous.
@@UnskilledGrappler He did not. His actual point was "How is it ok for an all Asian movie to be eligible for an Oscar but an all White movie is not". He took too long to get to the point he was trying to make so now everyone thinks he is woke when in fact he is the opposite.
@@FlorianD30and when Mads asked 'what do you think about it?' he didn't respond
@@JerryMetal After the interviewer asked the question Mads said he doesn't understand the question and the director said something about that they have a little girl of color in the movie and racism bla bla...so no, those 2 are not as based as the first half of the interview portrays them as.
Exactly! He's pointing out that there's nothing "diverse" about an all-Korean cast in a Korean movie, but Hollywoke sees it as, "Asians are minorities IN AMERICA, therefore this qualifies." Meanwhile, all Danes in a Danish film doesn't qualify because they're white.
And as much as I love Mads, YES, you should be concerned dude, because awards matter the most for indie films. Again, look at Parasite: winning the Oscar for Best Picture skyrocketed that movie's reach and sales. Meanwhile, I still have no idea what Mads' new film is called. That's the power of awards, so eligibility is a big friggin deal.
I don't think the first reporter was trying to put them on the spot. On the contrary, I believe he was trying to bring up the point of the absurdness of the quota rule, and whether they were worried about the impact it might have in their film.
No he was virtue signalling and yes did try put them on the spot.... its why they all do ask these type of questions, they don't care about the movies or the tv shows in any possible way.
@@SoloGamingZA nope, the OG comment is right.
His question is just "are you worried your film will suffer, due to the new diversity rules in Hollywood?", and not "why isn't your movie more diverse?".
The extreme obsession with diversity is a very American thing, don't get it mixed up.
The chance that this danish reporter cares about diversity in movies is small.
@@SoloGamingZA No, he was focusing on the fact that they weren't eligible to be considered for some awards because of their 'lack of diversity' and even compared it to another film with an equally homogenous cast that was eligible simply because they were Korean.
The journalist was trying to get them to comment on how diversity quotas place unreasonable burdens on films and punish filmmakers who want to tell an accurate story.
@@SoloGamingZA You're wrong. It's why he mentioned Parasite as an example where there is no diversity but was still eligible but this being a Danish production and thus being all white could be seen as lack of diversity. He was worried for the filmmakers. The filmmakers misunderstood him and so did you.
@@SoloGamingZAYep, truly this. Intelligent people understand, nowadays, when someone says the word "diversity" what they really are trying to do.
This guy had a plan A then switched to plan b, when they shut him down.
Pure virtue signaling. Both routes were even boring anyways.
I don’t know how many people will get this statement, but if politicians could’ve divided us by blood type, they would have…
I'm not sure. If you actually watch the longer version of the video. It seems like the guy is trying to take a swipe at the Oscars and other US ceremonies for their ethics and diversity conditions on nominations.
Exactly. I'm glad to see some people can actually listen and think instead of just turning their brain off as soon as someone says "diversity."
Denzel Washington can roast anyone at anytime and be 💯 correct.
Denzel is like a super celebrity. Such an intelligent and logical approach to his way of thinking.
"dont come at me with that dumb ****, ma'am"
I love watching that interview. That response is one of my favorite of all time in regards to this convo
Did he really say "Ma'am" at the end? Or... "man"? I'm not sure (and am being too lazy atm to listen multiple times and still not be sure anyway). Seems like "man" might be more in his wheelhouse/lingo... even if it were a "misgendering", haha. He wouldn't be using the latter with any ill-will, of course
I make a point to go back and see it, so when my new device is open at work, I can show it to the stupid people who need to hear that message.
@@markbrown4931 it was "Ma'am". Him using "Ma'am" was his way of "politely" shutting her down. I work in factories and we use the same language. You can say crappy things and say "sir" or "ma"am" and it shows compliance and humility, but also sarcasm, but it lets you say things that people would normally take offense to, but if you use a "formal" term for them, then it makes it harder for them to call you out. Usually swear words need to be absent and body language counts.
And she was being a jerk. He saw it. He had a retort and still was showing her more respect than she was showing him.

@@pesmerga182 Touche! I misunderstood, sorry. I agree with that.

LOL! "Its a movie that takes place in the 1750's Denmark"
But we all know that to the crazies over here, that excuse is still not good enough...so now they'll be cancelled as "racist" and "White Supremacists"
I actually think the Mikklesen question was quite a good question if you really listening to what he is asking and the whole question.
He is asking is it fair that the South Korean movie can be put up for the award when it is just South Koreans, but you can’t when it is just Nordic people - basically he asking is the new diversity requirements fair - maybe he just phrased it inarticulately.
His phrasing was fine if Mads would have just shut up and let him finish asking the question.
He asked the question in a long winded roundabout way instead of starting off with Parasite is not diverse and allowed... why is not the Nordic?
The director then chiming in with trying to justify the black girl just made it painful.
Yes I though that too. The rules are racist against white people
It was a good question and exposes the prejudice in that particular work agenda; that white people are somehow a lesser race than all the others.
When asking a question:
1. Get to the point
2. Make the question interesting
3. If you use the words 'diversity' then expect people to automatically ignore you.
How stupid of a question is it, "Derp... This movie is made in South Korea, why are there mostly Koreans in this movie? Derp. "
The first thing I think of is the character Mads plays in Death Stranding. Tar seeping out of his eyes while he puts a shush finger up to his lips.
That reporter with Jerry was gutless how he hides behind “people” saying it when it’s just him saying it.
Just goes to show -there exists a train of thought so unbelievably annoying that everybody of every race, culture, religion or nationality on earth pushes back against it.
The first question was actually a great question, he was asking if they cared about not winning any of the big American awards because they arent eligible to win them because they don't have enough diversity
Its hard to enjoy movies anymore,when i see blacks or gays in movies i skip that movie
Well whites in movies tend to be woke too. I skip 90% of movies these days
You skip a movie with Denzel Washington? Why?
The upcoming live version of, 'How to Train your Dragon' will have a diverse cast because movie studios like losing money.
I was hoping the ads for that live-action HTTYD was just me seeing things, but here we are now…
Okay, I understand the Daily Caller is about outrage, but the first reporter actually had a good point. Parasite was considered a win for “diversity” in Hollywood after winning the Oscars, yet the Danish film wasn’t, even though they both have the same levels of diversity. He wasn’t trying to produce a gotcha moment.
He got caught in friendly fire. When so many interviewers ask about this diversity nonsense, there's bound to be one mixed in with the bunch even if they were asking a genuine question. At this point no one wants to even hear the word "diversity" for a good 10 years.
I'm pissed about the lack of diversity in Black Panther. Wakanda for Whites!
I’d like to see jerry seinfeld play Malcolm X. Be inclusive.
The Danish guys at the beginning totally missed the point lol. They thought it was a dig at them but he was on their side🤦♂️
People just trying to race bait. Everybody is equal, we all bleed the same color of blood. Cant we all just get along.
Not with the tiny hats around
fun fact: under current Hollywood "rules" the movie Titanic if released today wouldn't be eligible to win any Oscars
Wow! I was under the impression that Europe was doing this garbage as well? And I was so delighted to see Denzel bravely give his honest and obviously based opinion out there!
The closer your country is to the UK geographically the more they obsess over this shit. UK is probably worse about it than USA honestly.
That's why the new Little Mernaid being black is so ridiculous. The Little Mermaid is a nordic folktale, she couldn't be black! That would be like having a blond girl from Los Angeles playing a geisha from a japanese folktale, or having a redhair white boy from Denmark playing a pharao from ancient Egypt. Ridiculous.
Hello my fellow black Americans! Have you asked yourself what black lives matter has done for you lately or ever?
Denzel Washington talks about cultural differences then filmed Macbeth 😂
Well said lil Wayne
I used to think Denzel was cool and got it, but then in Equalizer 2 he's reading and encouraging others to read "Between the World and Me", which is as CRT/BLM as it gets.
It's probably the best of the trilogy aside from that detail tho. Wish I didn't know. 🤷♂️
Should’ve added Morgan Freeman’s interview as well.
Made a movie about 1700s Denmark and asks about diversity wow.
The first reporter's question was a very good one, they just started answering before he finished.
He was asking was about the impact of cultural marxism inside Western entertainment specifically, which is so important.
I only wished he'd been able to ask it more eloquently.
The guy from I’m the first take was pointing out the lack of diversity from one nation is considered different than a lack of diversity from another
Loved Mads's faces during the explanation 😂
Mads has the Danish equivalent if the 110% I'm done and won't put up with this BS face.
In Britain we now have books published by Bloomsbury which say that black people built Stonehenge and were in fact the majority for most of British history. The attempt to erase history is shocking. If this continues I’ll be explaining to my children that we live in alien land
When everything is racist, nothing is. There are times where no black actors are needed in a film, others where all actors need to be black, depending on what the film is about and where it is set. I can not like a person, even if they are black, not liking someone is my perogative, maybe our characters clash. You know what is racist? Thinking black people can't do anything without being forcefully shoehorned into everything, even if it is absurd. Where are the Mongolians? I -rarely- never see any in any movies. Is that racist too?
What they need to do is make the main character a black woman and make her gay. Then the film would be a masterpiece.
2:56 Denzel Washington straight shooting as always ❤ fantastic breakdown. I've never gone through what he described. Not because of skin colour, but the culture.
Him and Morgan Freeman can't stand those types of questions or topics since they worked hard to be A list. I mean look at Denzel's first few movies. His leading man looks didn't equal the big paychecks for almost a decade a lesser actor would've quit
My respect for Jerry Seinfeld just went up.
Meanwhile Denzel Washington is portraying Hannibal in a new movie. First of all, Washington is WAAAY too old for the part. Second, Hannibal was not black. Carthaginians were descendants of Phoenicians who were Middle Eastern. Not Nordic white, sure but not African black.
Denzel Washington does not fit there at all: he thinks that white people are all one bunch (what is Spielberg supposed to know about Italo-Americans?) and goes on with ranting about having to adjust his hair, meh.
Diversity should happen organically, not forced.
Its almost like a plot twist when its jammed in your face.
Forcing others to conform really is off putting especially when your goal is to affect their craft. It’s good to ask certain questions however it isn’t so good to deliberately make it out to have an ulterior motive if not challenged.
It’s good to see people want to shut down these ridiculous attempts to control how people should think and feel towards
Jackie Chan was on a podcast not too long ago, and his answer to a diversity question was.
"What mean Diversity?"
DEI is a political agenda and if I think your movie or show is going to remind me of politics I will not watch. I use the things I watch as fun distractions that create fun conversation with the people I watch them with. Divisive topics ruin the fun.
DEI is misnamed. It is DIE.
First question is actually a legitimate one, since the awarding bodies do in fact make requirements for diversity...
The whole subject is over the top nonsense.
What Denzel Washington said able culture is correct. There are things culturally that manifests itself when blacks “misbehave.” It’s the same for every social group and it’s not necessarily racial.
Yeah, wouldn't say race had anything to do with it
Mads Mikkelsen shouldn’t have to sit behind a sign that spells his name wrong🙄
If you want diversity, make it natural! Like anything else in storytelling, don’t force it; forcing anything won’t help a story.
Who cares what the people think, honestly, don’t put them on a pedestal.
The world used to be much more homogeneous. That's not shocking or racist; it's just how it was. It was true for every people group. So trying to shoehorn these politics into period films makes no sense. It just produces an uncanny valley effect.
They got illegals staying at the Roosevelt??!.. I can't even afford the Holiday Inn at this point 😢

diversity was created by people who did not want to put effort in to get somewhere in life. there are plenty of SUCCESSFUL people of all different races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations that have become successful because they understood what the American Dream really is about: if you work hard, you have equal opportunity to succeed. it's not about the house and white picket fence, the kids and car in the driveway... that's just the visualization. the American Dream was that anyone from anywhere could have the chance to make something of themselves here. look back through our rough history. we had black slaves that worked hard, got freedom, were oppressed, and still managed to have individuals excel to the point that they are household names. you have gay men, lesbians, Indians, Native Americans, people from all over the world that have come here and WORKED HARD and get to enjoy their success. but now the diversity crowd just wants to belittle their hard work by forcing everyone else to allow the easy life for certain people. sorry, but i have too much respect for the men and women who worked themselves half to death to achieve success by their own blood, sweat, and tears to bow down to the diversity cult. if they do not have the merit, they don't deserve the credit.
Seriously why would you argue with Mads he's like an actual viking...
To be fair to the Danish interviewer, he wasn’t criticising the film. He was asking if they were concerned the film would not be eligible for a Best Picture Oscar because of the insane diversity rules.
Yeah he made a good point. How is it fair for a movie with an all korean cast to be eligible for award nominations but another movie with all danish cast(white people) isn’t eligible? How is one more diverse than the other? It’s not and I think that the reporter just wasn’t articulate enough to explain that quickly.
@@BarrythebarnabasWait! Don't leftists and liberals call Asians 'white-adjacent'?
@@thejuniorseas7683They also forget that there are many ethnicities under the Asian label. Indian people and Malaysians for instance are also part of that category.
Journalism today is GOTCHA! Thats it! Loaded questions and FLAT OUT LIES!
