The British Film Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards has set a new diversity standard for movies to meet if they ever wish to get nominated.  

"From 2019 onwards, nominations for the awards of ‘outstanding British film’ and ‘outstanding debut by a British writer, director or producer’ will need to conform to the BFI’s Diversity Standards, established two years ago to increase representation of minorities within British film," reports Breitbart London.

According to the BBC, the nominated films must show they have improved diversity within at least two of four categories to qualify. The categories are: "On-screen characters and themes; senior roles and crew; industry training and career progression; and audience access and appeal to under-represented audiences."

BAFTA has said the changes were "a flexible and achievable model, which the whole industry can adopt as a shared language for understanding diversity."

Under these new standards, the James Bond hit Skyfall could not have won the BAFTA for "Best British Film" in 2012. 

Of course, racially-conscious leftists that would classify one's penchant for Irish cream in their morning coffee as "racially insensitive" welcome the new rules with open arms. Simon Albury, the chairman of the Campaign for Broadcasting Equality, called it a "very positive move" to give minorities more screen representation.  

Others, like conservative MP Philip Davies, have called it just another politically correct regulation by privileged film aristocrats with no appreciation for meritocracy.  

"I am sure that this new criteria will be welcomed by the politically correct, out-of-touch, privileged film industry luvvies who will be patting themselves on the back for being trendy and right on," he said. "In the real world the vast majority of people believe in merit and want awards to go to the best films rather than the most politically-correct films."
