One of the problems with this country is that âalt-rightâ people are pretty much indistinguishable from âordinaryâ Americans. It used to be you could spot the âalt-rightâ people by their white sheets. Unfortunately, you canât do that any more.
New slogan: This is not your fuhrerâs Cadillac!
Iâd like to know, what is the agencyâs name and I sure hope theyâre fired!
At least it would be one role Hollywood couldnât whitewash.
Dind, DIng, DIng!!! You have won Comment of the Day!
The notice was drafted by an employee, who was immediately terminated for her actions.
I am sure Bannon will find her a Cabinet position in the Trump Admin.
As someone who grew up going to Detroit once a month in the 1960âs, I would have believed it if it was Lincoln who was advertising for alt-right models.
What ? No tattoos ?
this is a good thing. it forces people to publicly reject alt-right sickos.
This is why we need to kill the term âalt rightâ. Too many people donât really understand what it means. It sounds to me like the person who generated this casting call seems to think Alt Right is some diverse group with a particular style, like the whole grunge thing in the 90s. Thatâs why we need to call them white supremacists. Thereâs no mistaking what that means.
Needless to say, I wonât be buying a Cadillac.
Me either. I canât help but chuckle at Cadillacâs swift response. The very last thing they need is for black people to think their brand is racist and stop buying their cars. If black folks stopped buying Cadillacs, theyâd go out of business tomorrow.
This is not meant to be offensive in any way. Just a representation of all sides.
Holy fuck this is a scary normalization of neo-Nazism. If âall sidesâ knowingly includes neo-Nazis, it absolutely should be (and Iâd say is, to sane people) offensive.
The alt-right, neo-Nazi âsideâ should be ridiculed and shunned at every opportunity. These are the most-deplorable of the deplorables and no effort need be made to âreachâ or âincludeâ them. Holy crap I canât even believe this needs to be said.
All of Indiana is disappointed their budding acting careers have had yet another outlet for their skills foreclosed on them.
> Needless to say, I won't be buying a Cadillac.
I wonât either, but not because of this. I actually believe that there is no way that Cadillac would have condoned such a casting call. This is most likely what they saidâthe action of one rogue (or dumb) employee in the casting agency. Cadillac owes way too much of its market to sales to minorities to be this insensitive intentionally.
ââŚThis is not meant to be offensive in any way. Just a representation of all sides.â
Curious phrasing.
edit:
â I now see boidsterâs less circumspect take, above-- what he said.
As sinister and terrifying as so many of the developments in recent months have been, Iâm going to assume this one is just some advertising goof thinking alt-right is âhotâ and has âbuzzâ and is âedgyâ without really grasping what the hell it actually is, and maybe being so young and ignorant that Nazis are no more meaningful than any other movie villains. You can go right to the top in marketing and advertising and at every step youâd find incredibly vapid people who just chatter the latest buzzwords and sniff the winds for the next big thing. Trust me, Iâve worked with people like that. A few years back theyâd have been hiring real-live-dead flesh-eating zombies if they could have because that would have been hot with the buzzing and the edgy. Just everyday stupidity, nothing to see here, thatâs my guess. Weâll see lots of other bad stuff happen before we see Nazis being used in car commercials. At least I hope so.
Well, that might be true if they would just STFU. I find them pretty easy to spot.
Very good point. What we need is a Frank Luntz type of approach to naming things. They seems so good at coming up with terms like âpro-lifeâ and âright to workâ. Whoâs against life or the right to work? Instead of alt-right, how 'bout we call it Nazi-light? Someone should come up with a naming contest.
