AHA! So you agree with me?

Why is it all these white people are getting chosen if black people or other minorities can act just as well?
Ok, you tore apart my reasons...the person has to be able to act and it has to make sense with what the show is trying to say or where it takes place.

That obviously isn't gonna happen, but tell me, why is it there were no black or hispanics on friends? Everybody loves raymond? Sienfeld? the brady bunch?
Friends had lots of guest stars that were of other races. There was a Asian girlfriend...a black woman...a Spanish man...and to tell you the truth if they had written in a black person it would of felt pushed especially if they did it in the middle of the season. Plus I don't think they could of portrayed a black person accurately....

Seinfeld...it doesn't seem like it would of work...I don't know any black people who acted like any of them.

Brady Bunch was during the time of subtle racism what do you expect...

I could ask you the same question about "Family Matters, "Martin" and "Soul Food." So I will, why were there no white neighbors?
I'll even answer it for you: Because they k####est about their own race and what portrayed to them...ever wonder why when white shows do add a black person or white person show they always stick to the stereotypes...Let's take Cuts for example...they stuck a rich WHITE woman to work in a predominantly black neighborhood because she had to learn a lesson. Why couldn't it have been a Hispanic Rich girl? BECAUSE WHITE WOMAN ARE OFTEN THOUGHT OF BEING RICH AND SNOBBY. The Jefferson's did the same thing...so did the beloved George Lopez show....the daughter liked a rocker WHITE guy. Why couldn't it been an Asian?

You're black? Then what are you opposing! Wouldn't you like to see a few more black faces on TV?
It takes time. You can't expect them to just have shows that pop up overnight that are all diverse.

Tell me, why should TV be any different than real life?
It's not. In real life a lot of people hand out with people of their own race. I don't know where you go to school, but at my school all the Asians sit together. Same with the blacks and whites....

Oh, and I'll take you up on the commercial thing...and about the Arab comment...ever look at LOST? The Middle Eastern guy who I guess looks "Arab" on there was not a terrorist he was a solider. You see it takes time...slowly it's becoming integrated. But you have to wait...and like I said...stop talking about it and do something to speed it up. Go make a script that can become a catalyst.
