So did Amazon ruin Wheel of Time with "Forced Diversity"? Yes. And I hold Jeff Bezos personally responsible. Let me explain why.
Although Amazon hires a lot of:
Black people
Asians
Latinos
–they find themselves at the bottom of the totem pole in the company. And it is no secret that Amazon treats their entry-level workers like shit.
They tease you with a promotion that is never going to happen (because they recruit externally)
Fire you the second you burn out (they measure everything so they can tell)
This typically takes 2-3 years

Imagine
Imagine working for the world’s richest man while making minimum wage and:
You have to pee in a bottle (Amazon Denies Workers Pee in Bottles. Here Are the Pee Bottles)
Shit in a bag (Amazon drivers say they had to poop in bags)
–to meet your deadlines.
Lazy
This quote is from a guy who worked closely with Jeff Bezos:
Bezos believed that people were inherently lazy. “What he would say is that our nature as humans is to expend as little energy as possible to get what we want or need.” That conviction was embedded throughout the business, from the ease of instant ordering to the pervasive use of data to get the most out of employees.
93%

As recently as 2016, Amazon listed only 105 executive positions. Of those, 93% were white.
This has effectively created a massive PR problem for Amazon. They have been backed into a corner, and have been forced to pivot hard for “black issues”.Amazon will rarely promote black people in their company, but they still want sympathy points for “empathizing with the black cause”.
Stacked
And this is why The Wheel of Times fantasy series is STACKED with black people. That, minorities, and Lesbian/Bi/Gay interracial romances.The company is trying to compensate by shoving diversity down our throats until we gag.Here is Urban Dictionary’s top description of “Forced Diversity”.
Quora
Here is the top answer to the Quora question: What do you think about the casting approach of producers of Amazon's Wheel of Time TV series?
I'm so sick of “woke" Hollywood destroying and distorting content for the sake of appearing “woke" and politically correct. They destroyed Robert Jordan's work with what Judkin has produced in this series and I'm saying this as a liberal lesbian.
They cast people by color instead of talent and in the process, they sacrificed authenticity. Tossing in a few LGB characters was the most shallow and virtue signaling of all next to casting so many POC for the sake of “EQUITY".
The end result is a dissected, incoherent, insincere hatchet job of Robert Jordan's original body of work. Honestly, it's a travesty. What has happened to Hollywood? Seriously. I have never seen such a direct slaughter of another artist's work as I see in Judkins rape and mutilation of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time.
I feel sick over the fact that an LGB storyline was woven in for the sake of pandering to the LGBT audience on political issues regarding LGB & Trans rights…and Judkins did it with arrogance and WITHOUT the permission of Jordan. It's probably a mercy that he's gone now so he doesn't have to witness what’s been done to one of the greatest works of sci-fi/fantasy fiction ever written…HIS work.
The only saving grace is Rosamund Pike, Sophie Okonedo, Daniel Henney and Kate Fleetwood. The rest are mediocre at best and easily forgetable. It looks as if they just sacrificed authenticity for the sake of saying..”look how woke we are…we hired sooo many people of color...AND WE MADE THEM GAY!” 👍👍👍AUTHENTICITY IN FILM SHOULD NEVER BE SACRIFICED FOR THE SAKE OF “EQUITY".
The fact that they DID is just tragic. Whatever happened to Hollywood's love for acting talent? Today, you simply have to be the right color. This was simply too much and too far for the sake of “EQUITY" and political correctness.
Next time just do a Documentary on Equity and get it out of your system before destroying a writers work like this. It's just WRONG.
