Placing a few women, people of color, or a person with a disability on stage for the formal photo-opp, when only white men are in the leading roles, is not inclusion or diversity, it’s “diversity-washing”, diversion and deception. 🤬

Massacre is apt.
Impossible to recover from.
What a bunch of boneheads. What a world.

This guy is now effectively doing MBS propaganda for free, making out that what what needs to change in Saudi Arabia is the general culture, rather than the specific ruling regime. Once again, petrodollars buy us a fascinating case study in motivated reasoning.

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.
