Broadcasting....whiteness
I have recently read an article talking about shows that have many white characters showing little to no contact witht any other races but their own. That show that has been brought up is the show Girls on HBO. There have been many shows like this such as Full House, The Jersey Shore, Make it or Break it , Drake & Josh and the list continues. I personally do not mind if there are a variety of different races because honestly it doesnt matter to me as long as I'm getting some form of entertainment. I also believe its a good thing because usually in a diverse cast anyone other than wite people are portrayed as simple minded fools. But truthfully there are many shows that are polar opposites such as The Cosby Show, Keenan & Kel, The Jeffersons and Sanford and Son. These shows featured little to no white people at all. One show that surprising has no black people what so ever is ABC's Modern Family. It features many races buit not African American. In conclusion I personally don't mind what race is on my T.V screen as long as it amuses ME what does it really matter.
