“Hello, I am a generic white man from the suburbs who likes Golf. I think I could contribute a unique perspective to your writing.”
“Hello, I am a gay immigrant from China who speaks three languages. I think I could contribute a unique perspective to your writing.”
If I’m looking for fresh ideas and to tell new stories, I know which of those two I’m hiring. Studio probably already has 5 identical white men who like Golf. If he wants to be considered for the job, he should go out and experience the world for himself. That’s where you get the inspiration for new stories and good writing.

No, I’m assuming since he’s white and nobody wants to hire him as a writer he likes golf.
I bet if he converted to paganism and became a druid, or if he learned a few languages, or if he got a bachelor’s in ancient history he’d have an easier time getting a job. Which is kind of exactly what these employers are saying. They’re saying “come back when you have something new to bring to the table”.

Except the only criteria was race.
If you had a gay immigrant from Eastern Europe vs a gay immigrant from Asia and the candidate from Asia got the job just because they weren’t white, that’s where it becomes racist.
