Broadcasting a World of Whiteness




In class we read an article about how people were complaining about how HBO's show Girls should be more diverse. Also, how there are not enough television shows that are diverse with their casts. I agree with this because you hardly see a diverse TV show, unless the majority have their own TV network like BET, the Spanish channel, etc. I think that ABC, NBC,CBS, and FOX are all not diverse enough they all have white people in their shows and you rarely or never see a black, Chinese, or other cultures in their shows. Also, I believe that TV producers have a responsibility to put on shows that have diverse casts. Its their responsibly because they should want a lot of viewers and to not just have the cast relate to a certain majority. I have watched things on TV that was racist. What i seen that i thought was racist is that they use stereotype other raices. For example in the show Friends they didn't ever have another raice in theor show other then white. But in the show Girlfriend they had black, white, and white and mixed girls on the show. They should present things on tv about how the world should be not how some people worlds are.
