Investigative journalist, James O’Keefe, has aired a video with damning footage of a Disney executive discussing the company’s hiring policies, suggesting that they don’t treat white men equally. Novi Zhukovsky reports in The New York Sun:
A senior vice president at Disney claims the company isn’t looking to hire or promote white males, according to a video that has sparked outrage among Elon Musk, Senator Lee of Utah, and the thousands of commenters calling for a boycott.
The video — which adds to the mounting allegations of Disney’s “woke policies” — allegedly shows a senior vice president and team lead at Disney, Michael Giordano, describing the company’s prejudice toward hiring and promoting white men.
The damning compilation, posted on X, prompted commenters to call for a boycott against the press conglomerate.
The post was also reshared by Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, who added, “this is messed up.”
Mr. Lee responded to the videos by warning of impending legal action.
“Disney’s lawyers will be busy. Very busy,” he wrote on X. “Because this Disney exec admitted to hiring (and not hiring) on the basis of race. As it turns out, that’s against the law. In fact, it has been for the last 60 years.”
In the video obtained by the O’Keefe Media Group, Mr. Giordano claims that, “As far as Disney’s concerned, I’m a white male. And that’s not who they’re looking to promote at the moment,”
When asked if he thinks that will be promoted to department head he responds, “I’m not sure to be honest with you,” even though he’s “well prepared” and “well positioned for it.”
He also describes how he was passed over for an internal promotion on several occasions because of his race, which he says was “told explicitly” to him.
“There are times when it’s spoken,” he says in reference to the alleged Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices.
His friends in Disney’s human resources department have told him plainly, “they’re not considering any white males for this job. They’re just not,” he says.
