When it involves affirmative action.

Which is what is happening at the moment.

Many governments' rules on tax credits and companies' own guidelines state that to get funding projects must have both cast and crew which represent the demographics of the modern population. This is affirmative action by the backdoor as people are being given jobs (and not being sacked for terrible behaviour) just so the production can tick a box. I never thought I would see people chosen for a role solely for their race or sex rather than ability in the UK in my lifetime but that is exactly what's happening behind closed doors now.
