Famous author and anti-Trumper Stephen King spoke out today that art should be judged by its quality and not its diversity. Makes sense, right?

“As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just three categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay. For me, the diversity issue…as it applies to individual actors and directors, anyway…did not come up. That said…

After pressure from the left, King tweeted out that everyone should have a fair shot. That’s great, but it’s not the same as affirmative action.
