In June 2020,calling on the UK's film and TV industry to "tackle structural and systemic racism" in broadcasting and film-making.
"Because I saw a company that had placed their stamp on this document that I knew for a fact from personal experience didn't necessarily uphold those standards as enshrined in the letter. That was a shock for me. A real shock."One of the letter's organisers, producer Nisha Parti, says those who signed should expect to be held to account
"People or organisations who have been particularly insensitive [are] jumping on a bandwagon. It's so easy for people to just put their name on a document." "I want to speak out and create a safe space for our children's generation to work and grow and thrive and contribute."Krishnan's recent credits include three episodes of upcoming TV series Industry
"When I explained to [the organisers] that people who don't uphold the standards of the letter are on it as signatories, they said they couldn't do anything about the people who'd signed the letter, but that we could remove our own names from it. The producer speaks of feeling "the sheer horror of seeing names on there, from those who have held up the systemic racism in the industry through their active choices and outright racist views, which have affected many film-makers of colour past and present".
look back in anger
Nope
The BBC and Channel 4 advertise their graduate programmes for BAME candidates only. Yet they preach to all of us about how WE shouldn't be racist!
Any white actor nowadays knows that the odds are stacked against them in applying for jobs in film, TV, theatre and commercials. The industry is either naive regarding the real number of Afro/Caribb in the UK (1 in 25 of pop) or deliberately attempting social engineering.
Black people are grossly over-represented as presenters and actors on TV, especially in adverts. It has gone too far. Please BBC, campaign for fairness.

If you're white and talented / if you're black and talented. No need for positive discrimination
What racism? Do the BBC realise that 7% of UK population are Asian and 3.8% are Black? This is about Londoners not knowing the UK looks different to their one city.
More to the point, is this organisation, crammed to the brim with leftists and non-English people going to shut its fat gob and start producing programmes aimed at the majority of the population, instead of race-baiting? 🤬
The BBC with an unnecessary race fixated 'story'? File alongside Banksy and Stormzy as 'story' items the BBC features on a seemingly 365 basis.
Belize is a awesome family vacation getaway click on the link below to watch video.
It appears that Black people are over represented as they only make up 3.5% of the population and away from that dump called London the % is substantially less.
Remember only white people can be racist
The film and TV industries got nothing to tackle; their raison d'etre is to show art and entertainment. Period.
No because white people are now underrepresented compared to before. White people don't apply knowing the work is going to BAME applicants
Oh bore off BBC! Change the bloody record as most people have had enough now. Try employing someone high up that’s non-white might help your cause.
I think so
The BBC is a leftist business. Make no mistake, the people you pay the big pounds to and all greedy and just want to keep their jobs. Go commercial and stop the racists on the BBC.
bbc is a cracked record
I actually don’t care about this at the moment. I care about people losing their jobs and suicide.
Can we please have more dramas about non-binary black transgenders who are overcoming white supremacy and toxic masculinity to tackle climate change?
The TV and Film Industry in the UK are creating more racial division than they are any other industry in this Country!!
Another day, another race story from the Black Broadcasting Corporation...
DefundTheBBC
This from the openly racist bbc 😂 How are the quotas based on skin colour & ethnicity going?
Any racist person should be arrested. It is wrong to think that any one race is superior. It's even worse to research racial differences in IQ. Dont do that. Definitely don't
Ever the race baiting channel.
What racism you clowns?
No. I’ve seen so many adverts from black history month etc but I see there are no plans for white history month. 🤷🏼♂️
Reminder to the BBC: America has a big race problem，we don't
BBC going on about race continually —is embarrassing more people of race. Enough already.
