James O’Keefe launched his newest undercover report yesterday, that includes a senior Disney VP who spilled the beans on the corporate’s DEI hiring practices.
Michael Giordano went on a date with a web based service and received greater than he bargained for. His date was working for O’Keefe and prompted him with questions on what DEI seemed like behind the scenes. Giordana mentioned he personally utilized for a lot of jobs throughout his 11 years on the firm and noticed extra numerous candidates with much less expertise get promoted. He says a good friend of his in HR informed him, “Look, Mike, nobody else will inform you this, however they are not contemplating any white males for this job. They’re simply not.”
However Giordano wasn’t the one one omitted due to race. He informed a narrative to marketing campaign for a mixed-race candidate with a black father or mother and a white father or mother. He described the person as “half-black” however didn’t look half-black Giordano mentioned a inventive govt on the firm intervened, saying one thing like “it isn’t what it wished.” He added, “They wished somebody on the assembly who would seem a sure approach and he would not carry that to the assembly.”
When it got here to casting their TV initiatives, Giordano mentioned the corporate was very cautious about what was mentioned overtly however advised that codes have been used to point what bosses wished to see.

Personally I am glad O’Keefe continues to dig into tales like this, which the corporate flatly denies when requested. You will need to know the way far the pendulum has swung inside these firms when it comes to unlawful racial discrimination towards sure populations. However our nationwide media would not have the urge for food to dig into this conduct as a result of they help it and are most likely doing a few of the identical issues, though if requested once more they may flatly deny it.
All that mentioned, I am unable to assist however really feel sorry for Michael Giordano who’s now on trip.
I am listening to that Giordano, who simply deleted his LinkedIn account, has been requested by Disney to take a “depart of absence” after this video got here out. I might be shocked in the event that they did not quietly fireplace him for this remark.
Giordano did nothing fallacious right here. He was simply being sincere about his experiences and sadly for him, being sincere about these items is a demise sentence to a profession at Disney or probably every other main Hollywood firm. The primary unstated rule is that you do not speak in regards to the firm’s progressive secrets and techniques exterior of the progressive bubble. He’ll now be part of different outcasts from academia comparable to Brett Weinstein, previously of Evergreen State School, Peter Boghossian, previously of Portland State, and Jordan Peterson. The distinction is that every of those individuals made a alternative to talk publicly, Giordano was most likely searching for a date with a fairly woman.
I am certain he’ll be quietly fired quickly after which changed by somebody who is aware of precisely what occurs whenever you speak to Disney. Want for progressive omerta Disney shall be boosted with out saying something.
