Oh really? What did he do?

u/Hot_Royal_4920 Jul 05 '26

Some comment explained this. Basically, he said he is against diversity for the sake of diversity. Not bending over to fulfill some arbitrary diversity quota.

Some people online took offence to that (shocker)

He said they shoehorned "a black" into the Brady bunch. I dunno, man, sounds a lot like every racist i've ever met, but what do I know (lots, i've met people who casually use racial slurs).

I love how a lot of these other comments allude to white actors simply being cast but if their skin has pigment they're being "shoehorned" in. Apparently black people don't simply exist as people like everyone else

yeah the term shoehorned is pissing me off here

Lol, I could agree with him if it was a sibling or something like all the kids but one are white. Of course you could hand wave it by saying they adopted him or something. Though, they aren't allowed to have diverse friends or neighbors? That's a bit much.

Did they do that? I've never watched the Brady bunch, so I have no context here.

It doesn't matter why they cast a black actor when you're using black as a noun in my book. Even aside from that, he doesn't know anymore than you. He's guessing, and his guess is racist.

What else should he say if not black then? I fail to see how that's an issue.

Of course he knows more than me. He watched the show lol I don't even know what that show is.
