I believe in fire with fire. Hollywood didn't become predominately white male by accident or because white males are the best writers, editors, executives, directors, actors, *everything*. You have an easier time making it in that world because Hollywood (and American society) is structured to benefit you. You might disagree with "Diversity Hire" but it is a conscious effort to balance what has been consciously imbalanced. You simply cannot disagree with Diversity Hire without hating the current climate of Hollywood even more.

See, this is what happens when you don't read the links that threads are about.Diversity Hire is the actual position. It can only be filled by a person of color (or a woman or homosexual).
You wouldn't lose out on a Diversity Hire because you don't fit the bill. It's like a person working at Ikea worrying about losing a spot at Wal-Mart.
Because I assumed you read the link and then responded like that, I assumed you were saying that you don't like the idea of a position meant for people of color, which would make you a racist.
Pro-tip: Read links next time.

What's racist about a white guy disliking racially diverse hiring? I'm not sure if that's a serious question.

So you're a racist?

Are you okay with that?

"There's this thing in Hollywood, a "diversity staff writer." Most every writing room has one—an entry level, non-white staff writer, explicitly hired due to their race. (If you're really lucky, being gay or a woman might just suffice, in lieu of not being white.) The diverse staff writing position, colloquially referred to as a "diversity hire," isn't just a vague, subtle effort to break up the litany of white, male faces that make up a majority of the working writers in television. In corporate America, minorities often have to deal with vicious whispers amongst white co-workers about how they got where they are as a token hire—"They had to hire a black guy." Perversely, Hollywood's genuine attempt to remedy the overwhelming whiteness of the industry has instead led to a place where networks pat themselves on the back for hiring a token writer by institutionalizing those sotto voce complaints. We are called, on paper and to our faces, diversity hires."

Do you think this is an effective way to deal with the structures in Hollywood that favor white males? Should it be increased, i.e. instead of one "diversity hire" perhaps as many as 10? How do you feel about the lack of female, and person of color writers in Hollywood?

Well shit, that's pretty much a jackpot combination in today's world, isn't it? Kid won the genetic lottery.

It's that damn Glee show.

They should create the first beyblade instead
