Mandating Diversity: A Recipe for Failure
Real Housewife executive producer and frustrated housewife, Andy Cohen, recently appeared on Garcell Beauvais' podcast, In Bed with Joan Garcelle, or some such nonsense. Yeah, she’s got a podcast too, and she’s not even a fired housewife (yet). For those who don’t know who she is, Garcell is the token black chick whom Bravo saddled the ladies of Beverly Hills with on season ten, when the newly woke network started mandating “diversity”.
After sufficiently berating her white boss, the blackress turned day time talk show co-host turned reality star turned spokesperson for all things black (no, I don't mean Whoopi Goldberg), finally got around to axing Cohen why there hadn’t been any woman of color (meaning black women) on his crown jewel, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Instead of stating the obvious (that Beverly Hills, CA’s population has a ratio of 82.4% white to 2.2% black), ass kisser Cohen said “they wanted to get it absolutely perfect”. See what he did there? Now that's how you thwart a hostile interviewer's attack! So there it is, Garcelle Beauvais became the first black "Real Beverly Hills (divorced) Housewife"; figuratively speaking, and probably literally.
“I think that it was a bad cycle because then the longer you waited, the more you wanted to get it absolutely perfect when you did cast a woman of color and bring them into the group. You wanted that person to succeed.”, said Cohen. He continued, “Over the years, there have been people that we did not cast that were people of color … we really wanted to get it right so that we weren’t casting someone that would be a one-season housewife or like, ‘Oh, well, she’s boring’ or she didn’t fit. I just think it was this vicious cycle of wanting to get it absolutely right.”. However, after apparently reading the room (meaning the look on Garcell's face, he concluded., “The true answer is there is no excuse. It’s bad, and there is no excuse.”.
Drunk with power, the PC Natzis were just getting started, demanding even more diversity to its season 11 cast. Enter one Crystal Minkoff, RHOBH's first Asian housewife. At least this one is more believable, because Asians make up 8.9% of Beverly Hills' population.
