The Great Replacement Chronicles: ‘Mississippi Masala’

Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.

Mamdani explains that his mother forced all the white actors to play waiters in her DEI movie

As recently relayed by the New York mayor, while Mrs. Mamdami was producing some horror show DEI slop called Mississippi Masala about the beauty of interracial love, which she somehow convinced Denzel Washington to star in, she quipped that she made all the parts for white people waiters:

I am only alive because my mother made a film called Mississippi Masala and met my father in the process of it. And at the time, she was looking for funding for that film, and she told the story, it was about a love story between an African-American man and Indian-Ugandan woman. Sghe went up to one financier. And he said, 'Where are the white actors in this story?' And she said ‘Don't worry they will be waiters.’

And she taught us that if we don't tell our own stories, no one else will. And too often when it comes to stories about people of color by people of color, we don't have that funding.

Exuding real “get to the back of the bus, subhuman!” vibes, no?

I guess we can now understand that Mamdami’s visceral anti-white hate is, in fact, an inheritance from his liberal and loving parents.

Anyway, on the merits of the claim that you never see “stories about people of color by people of color” in popular media, has this guy not turned on Netflix lately?

That’s virtually all there is; even revisionist tales about historical Europe are made to ahistorically feature minorities or risk being branded racist.

In fact, the Oscars, eager to expedite their decline into irrelevance, recently codified in April 2025 that longstanding de facto policy into explicit policy by declaring that movies must meet certain DEI quotas in order to qualify as a candidate for “Best Picture.”

Via Oscars.org:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences representation and inclusion standards for Oscars® eligibility in the Best Picture category are designed to encourage equitable representation on and off screen to better reflect the diverse global population.

Submitting a confidential Academy Inclusion Standards form (RAISE) and meeting TWO out of FOUR of the standards will be required for the film to be eligible for Best Picture consideration. In addition, the film must complete the Best Picture Expanded Theatrical Run criteria to qualify.

STANDARD A: ON-SCREEN REPRESENTATION, THEMES AND NARRATIVES

A film can achieve this standard by meeting the criteria in at least ONE of the following areas:

A1. Lead or significant supporting actors from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups

At least one of the lead actors or significant supporting actors submitted for Oscar consideration is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a specific country or territory of production.

This may include:
 • African American / Black / African and/or Caribbean descent
 • East Asian (including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mongolian)
 • Hispanic or Latina/e/o/x
 • Indigenous Peoples (including Native American / Alaskan Native)
 • Middle Eastern / North African
 • Pacific Islander
 • South Asian (including Bangladeshi, Bhutanese, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan)
 • Southeast Asian (including Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Laotian, Malaysian, Mien, Singaporean, Thai, and Vietnamese)

A2. General ensemble cast

At least 30% of all actors not submitted for Oscar consideration are from at least two underrepresented groups which may include:

• Women
 • Racial or ethnic group
 • LGBTQ+
 • People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing

A3. Main storyline/subject matter

The main storyline(s), theme or narrative of the film is centered on an underrepresented group(s).

• Women
 • Racial or ethnic group
• LGBTQ+*
• People with cognitive or physical disabilities, or who are deaf or hard of hearing

*I’m disappointed with the Oscars here, in that the acronym LGBTQ+ is not nearly inclusive enough.

Hey bigots, where is the quota for the marginalized MMIWG2SLGBTQQIA+ (“Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People”)?
