Matt Damon under fire for saying diversity isn't necessary in Hollywood

Matt Damon did an interview saying "talking about diversity you do it in the casting of the film, not the casting of the show" meaning, it isn't necessary to have a racially 'diverse' production crew. In essence I think what he was getting at is let it be based on merit and color blind:

Predictably, he's getting hammered by all the liberals, SJWs, feminists, etc on twitter.
I've got nothing against diversity so long as merit and those most qualified are on a higher level of importance than diversity for diversity's sake. I think that's what he was saying.
He had the balls to say it. Let's see if he has the courage to stick with it instead of come crawling back after the shaming he's going to receive for going against the liberal Hollywood party line and apologize or say that's "not what he meant."

You mean ultra-SJW Matt Damon forgot that "diversity is our strength"?

Fuck him, he was always towing the bullshit liberal narrative and advocating for higher taxes (even though 'the rich' in California already pay ridiculously high taxes).
They call for higher taxes, then the film studios shoot in states / countries which give them tax breaks. They're too stupid to make this little connection that high taxes are killing their own film industry.

I'm pretty shocked he would say this, but then again he's always seemed to care about more old school-esque left wing issues like healthcare, regulation, education, sodomy, etc.

It's insane that in 2015 you can't even say that you don't care about "diversity" but only about the best man (or even woman) for the job. That alone will cause mass hysteria. Basically right now if you say anything short of "You should only have diverse workforces or that we need more diversity and especially women in the workforce" you are a racist shit bag. I am surprised SJW Damon didn't know that about his own people. Nonetheless, no fucks given. I hope the radical SJWs continue to go batshit crazy at inane comments like this so the rest of the world can see just how crazy they are.

Racial diversity: because true differences are all based on skin color, right?

The Maximally Pathetic Schema: Xs who labor to convince Ys that “I’m not one of those despicable Zs!,” when in fact it is obvious to the meanest intelligence that the Ys see no difference between Xs and Zs, don’t care anyway, and would love to throw both Xs and Zs into a gulag.

Matt Damon is in trouble with the progressive inner party? This isn't just comedy gentlemen, it's delicious.
This is Matt Damon who pushed us Howard Zinn's A Peaople's History of the Unites States which is known for it's purposefully scathing falsifications. The point of the book is America is always bad and always had awful intentions. Howard Zinn was communist globalist who followed the likes of Gramsci.
Damon is beyond social justice flamer, he's pure cocaine in proggy leftism. I'm not sure why he make those remarks, but it could even be a scheme for all I know.

Sargon of Akkad made a good point today, one that is not unfamiliar to this neck of the internet, but it bears reiterating.
This diversity issue is basically the result of non-white, non-males seeing themselves as a class and assuming white men do as well.
However, never forget this view has been given plausibility by historical wrongdoings which did happen (although probably could use some revising). It's still wrong of course.

Matt Damon is very much a limousine liberal who advocates for left wing causes without having any skin in the game. This is a guy who has been a vociferous advocate for public schools as his mother is a public school teacher until it was discovered he sends his own kids to private schools. Hypocrisy personified.
