Are you advocating nationalizing the film industry to ensure they aren't "woke", Terry?
Terry is trying to say no business should be able to identify in their customer base who they are selling to and do targeted selling and instead they must only try to make products that with generic appeal for everyone.
So if you are:
- a movie maker who sees a growing Indian population in the US and you want to make a Bollywood style movie to target them specifically that is racist and wrong and should not be allowed.
- same for growing chinese audience and you want to make a Crouching Tiger, stylistic movie, that is racist and wrong
- same for creating an ethnic restaurant when you realize you live in an area with a lot of people from a certain ethnicity.
In Terry world that 'targeting' of ethnicities, with product that historically would appeal to them (Food, Movies, etc) is racist and wrong and all corporations should be FORCED to only produce to the generic middle of society demands.
it is yet another data point of how far the right has strayed from the ideals of Capitalism and democracy.
