Haha. Scratch a Liberal, uncover a hypocrite. So nice to see this pompous arse get a dose of his own Liberal medicine. Off to the reeducation camp, ya little dweeb.

"Matt Damon was excoriated Monday by left-leaning news outlets and thousands of users on Twitter for a comment he made on diversity during Sunday night’s season premiere of HBO’s “Project Greenlight.”

The first episode in season four of the reality television show centered around Damon and Ben Affleck searching for a person to direct a comedy in which man is dumped on his wedding day and marries a black prostitute named Harmony.

“Dear White People” producer Effie Brown advised Damon and Affleck that a person of diversity be considered to direct the film, considering the subject matter. Damon hit back with a comment on diversity that now has him under fire.

“When we talk about diversity, you do it in the casting of the movie, not the casting of the show,” Damon said, suggesting diversity should be a focus when hiring the actors to play the parts, but less-so when looking for behind-the-scenes crew.

“Wow,” Brown replied in apparent shock.

Left-leaning news websites immediately jumped on the comment to go after Damon, an avowed liberal Democrat. MIC called his comment “not just tone-deaf” but “aggressively ignorant.” Salon suggested Damon “needs to open his eyes on diversity.” Slate said the comment reflected “why Hollywood still has a diversity problem.”

Damon’s name also trended on Twitter Monday, with uses blasting him for his views on diversity."

Just out of curiosity, what is a "a person of diversity"?

That's easy. It's a member of an Accredited Victim Group, and therefore not a member of a Designated Oppressor Group.
 
It might also be said to be a person who never deviates from Correct Thought, who never speaks a word of doubt regarding socially-approved and state-validated beliefs, but who marches always in perfect totalitarian lockstep while proudly denouncing as haters and heretics all those who do not. 

In other words: a Progressive Democrat.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn
