How exactly is this MacGyver?

No, just a white Mama to children of colour who sees through their eyes. How would you like to go to a school where 80% of the students look 'alike', but not like you? How would you like to live in a community where no one else looks like you, but all sure as heck look like each other? The idea of the all female Ghost Busters was stupid as all get out. The reason they were all male in the original is because it was sort of a 'buddy movie', and the idea of a group of comedians who often worked together who happened to be male. Had the new one been the children of the originals, at least one of whom happened to be female, it would have made a lot more sense.
The phrase 'diversity level' may just be a side effect of being interested in America as a whole, not just a bunch of old white men. or it may be indicative of being in grad school and needing to communicate (speak & write) like a frickin' thesaurus. I'm also a retired Sailor and sometimes speak like one, much to my Mother's lament. -

You type a lot but all it means is "we need more diversity because diversity"
Quotas aren't good for anyone. All they do is force a racial mix even if it means producing a horrible picture. Nobody cares what color your babies are. It's not some special badge of honor that allows you to speak authoritatively on such subjects. It's like being the person who says "I have a friend who is black" to prop themselves up as an authority on race. Guess what, I know someone at NASA. That doesn't make me an astrophysicist.
As for ghostbusters, the movie probably would have gone over fine if they had made a better trailer, and Paul Feig could take criticism. Overall the movie wasn't bad and it probably could have made money.
Instead he tried to pull the race/gender/equality card and that tanked his movie hard. This is what happens when you social justice tards try too hard to push an agenda that clearly doesn't make any sense.
"Diversity levels" is a red flag statement. It tells me that you're more interested in diversity than you are in competence, effort, or achievement. A useless person. -

And Herimone is black now in the new Harry Potter play, but dont say anything or else your a racist!
Not to mention all the white comic book characters who are now black, Nick Fury being a prime example. -

I expected to be disappointed because of my deep affection for the original show. And indeed I was disappointed. The whole thing was just "meh", and I saw the twist the minute it happened. (No spoilers, in case someone hasn't watched their DVR yet.) That being said, just to be fair, I'll give it another try next week. If it's still on next week, that is.

If Murdoc ever actually stayed dead, MacGyver's actions in Partners(throwing a rock into the windshield of the truck and causing Murdoc to drop the dynamite), the Widowmaker(holding up Murdoc's rope so that he accidentally cuts it and falls), and Cleo Rocks(electrocuting him and causing him to fall into a flaming pool) would have killed him.
