>Ofcom, the media regulator, is facing new pressure to use its powers to force the BBC to increase the diversity of its workforce after the corporation published the pay of its top stars last week.
>Submissions to Ofcom, part of a consultation into how it will regulate the BBC, call on the body to introduce diversity targets for the number of BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) staff working behind the scenes.
>A consultation into the draft operating licence closed last week, with the National Union of Journalists, Directors UK, the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality, and the charity Stonewall among the groups calling on Ofcom to do more to improve diversity at the BBC.

Juan Peterson
kek I knew it was Ofcom tfw my gay uncle called me a manchild because I don't want to watch the new season of Doctor Who I really enjoyed Bill as a character last season, until they gave up with her two episodes in and forced her to talk about her sexuality every episode if you don't want to create compelling stories/characters and just want to use everything as a canvas for spreading diversity then you can't really say that the stories or characters have any merit also forcing a shit load of black people into Victorian England wearing fancy clothes and shit did slavery not exist at all? those guys had it pretty fucking good
Wyatt Hernandez
BBC1, BBC2 and very occasionally ITV are pretty much the only non-sports channels I ever watch.
Channel 5 has always been shit, and has never produced anything of any value. I don't really like the American shows they got on Sky, so I barely watch anything on there, just the sports.
Channel 4 is fucking pathetic. Every show is about homosexuality, transvestites, or some other shit to try to be "edgy" or "progressive". To be clear, I don't care if the guy in a show is gay, but Channel 4 is just constant shows about sexuality, some niche group that cries about being persecuted, or some explotative bullshit with forms of disability that are just there as a freak show. They keep talking about diversity on Channel 4, but its not like they put anything good on, its just "look at me, I'm in some way different from you". Why can't they make more decent sitcoms, or have more interesting detective shows?
If the BBC gets ruined, I probably won't renew my tv license tbqh.
Juan Sanders
>minority ethnicities >they all globally outnumber whites in general and brits in general
Why are they the minorities?
Why don't they make their own fucking companies?
Wyatt Torres
when will people realise that the top earners are top earners because they have a bigger draw, not because the bbc execs build no-girls-allowed pillow forts and plan to underpay women just because >girls are icky Are people just this fucking retarded?
Jacob Brown
I think that decreasing diversity would be a better idea. Not just at the BBC either, but in all of the UK.

Thats racist as shit? Why are there no Chinese people there? Fucking racist BBC shits, Chinese have always been a fabric of this countries society. Do you mean to tell me that cities like Manchester and Cardiff didn't always have huge rapidly expanding Chinese populations?
Christian Smith
Literally no one gives a shit about them. Better off spending time appeasing blacks and Muslims of peace to prevent crime.
Isaiah Turner
Diversity only means BANE now.
And in Britain Asian only means Paki.
Ethan Flores
This is so fucking disgusting. I can't understand the mindset of these people.
Jaxson Gonzalez
I am British, its just that I think perhaps the growing number of Chinese people in this country seems to go unnoticed. In the places I've lived, the increase in Chinese seems to be far more noticeable than any other minority group, but alas, no one will give a shit until they overtake the number of Indians.
Blake Nguyen
at which point they'll be part and parcel of our British way of life, just like our Nigerian and Pakistani friends
Brayden Sanchez
It's incredible how diverse = black, you see this in the states too with a miniscule number of hispanics compared to blacks everywhere. More Indians would actually be accurate.
Ian Gray
Bame?
Sebastian Jones
Black and Mexican ephebophiles
Justin Reyes
the english abolished slavery in the early 1800s
Gabriel Garcia
I'm aware of that, but it was the fact that they were mostly black extras it was too blatant kek
Leo Wood
i was just answering the "did slavery not exist at all" part
Gabriel Martin
Didn't the BBC already say that they weren't going to hire white people? Is that not enough?
Zachary Roberts
Increase diversity? the BBC already way over represent minorities.
Owen Edwards
It will never be enough. Not untill literally everyone on tv is an ethnic minority
Evan Perry
>my gay uncle called me a manchild
BASED GAY UNCLE HOW EVER WILL user RECOVER

Bame?

UK is not a liberal country. This is unsurprising. What is crazy here in CEE we are still given the West as the example, even though here in Czech republic we are a lot more liberal and free. Some of the regulations and attempts to social engineering not even Communists indulged in.
Like that guidelines from advertisement? Unelected body dictates what is the correct way to present a woman and a man robbing people of the liberty to form an independent thought.
Caleb Martinez
>already overrepresenting black and gays >ONLY SOLUTION IS MORE DIVERSITY
I used to think it was just nazi crap but the idea that diversity just means less white people is true. See also the #oscarssowhite bullshit, where the truth is blacks are as well represented as they are % of the population in the US. Liberals don't fucking care.
They also claim 90% black NBA has "good diversity".
It all makes no fucking sense, unless they're racist as fuck and just want whites gone.
Ayden Lee
There is a difference between the Western Cultural Marxism and the Soviet Economic Communism.
Gabriel Bell
The Chinese get beaten and terrorized by Africans in France. A lot. It is racist Chinese immigrants do well, but African ones do not. RACIST!!! White people do nothing about it, of course, Africans always victims.
Christian Sullivan
>black, Asian and minority ethnic
UK is 3% black and 6% Asian. Why do black people come first in the acronym?
Nolan Wood
Fwance is niggerland, by 2020 there is gonna be riots in Paris and Marseille that makes the 2005 riots looking like a fart,
Hudson Jackson
There is a lot more to Socialist/Communist society than just the economic part.
You in the West just do not know about the cultural part, because you never had the reason to care.
Josiah Torres
Nope. You just refuse to accept socialists hijacked the term liberal.
Regarding pay at BBC, people do not talk about the liberty to negotiate and people, women and men, using the information to strengthen their position when negotiating, they push the idea there is a collective of interchangeable working units, thus it is wrong working unit A gets less money than working unit B. Nobody fucking cares each of these people negotiated individually. They want to get rid of that.
Parker Roberts
>>The BBC says about 14% of its staff are from a BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) background
How the fuck is the BBC, or any Western tv network or movie studio, NOT diverse enough?
Non-Whites are widely _over_ represented in ALL media.
If we wanted to be honest about this, then each ethnicity should only receive the amount of representation in media, equal to their percentage of the general population.
This would mean that in the UK, no more than 2% of characters in media should be Black, no more than 4.4% should be Asian.
Truly EQUAL non-racist representation.
Xavier Ramirez
The objective is to homogenize and rip everyone of their identity.
You have black show, you have white show, instead you will have two "diverse" shows.
Lincoln Carter
Diversity means chasing the last white person down.
Carter Martinez
>Western Cultural Marxism and the Soviet Economic Communism Wat. You don't get it. Your countries literally repeat what commies strted here, lol. Back in 1991 I thought we're frrr now but no. Between the Devil and the deep sea.
Kayden Ortiz
>frrr It should be "free"
Ryan Barnes
Let's be honest. Black people have no culture. They need white people to shove them in everywhere because they can't do shit on their own. We are talking about people that couldn't even figure out a use for a wheel. "Culture" is a foreign concept for them.
