  black people dont sell, unfortunately a known fact
  like when fashion magazines put black models on their covers, their sales go down etc.
  so the magazine features pred. white models, white actors etc., and it has nothing to do with the magazine or the tv series itself, or its editors being racist.
  the media is what people buy, it is a reflection of the racist in all of us ... yes it is, its true
  so embrace your capitalism you fought for, america, and stop whining

  What about BET?
  I guess the same but opposite could be said about sports...mostly black people (well except for hockey...too cold).
  Is this racist or are blacks mostly better athletes than whites?

  they are better athletes and physically superior in some areas (except swimming maybe)
  there are more black people in music too
  but here it is your actual performance and your work which sell,, not your face

  • Sorry dude I can't agree. To say that black people are better athletes can easily and would be flipped by some racist to imply that black people are inferior intellectually. And I know that some would like to believe that but it's not the case.– Glitterati_Duane1/3

    i said in some areas– drgs2/3

    different evolutionary specialization– drgs3/3

  "they are better athletes and physically superior in some areas (except swimming maybe)"

  fuck guys can you lay on the stereotypes a little bit thicker? LOL

  • exactly the point... racism is a stereotype– TaylorB1/6

    < ...based on stereotypes– TaylorB2/6

    west africans have more testosterone and more of the larger type-I fast-twitch muscle fibers– drgs3/6

    So drgs. Are you implying that white people should give up trying to compete against them?– Glitterati_Duane4/6

    why? white people tend to be better in endurance competitions– drgs5/6

    differences are not that big anyway– drgs6/6

  The O.C is of course a solidly-researched documentary... referencing Orange County demographics (source: Wikipedia):
  64.81% White
  13.59% Asian
  1.67% African American
  0.70% Native American
  0.31% Pacific Islander
  14.80% from other races
  4.12% from two or more races.

  • so 13.59% Asians they should script so Asian actors there. Some Rich Spoiled Asians i see everywhere– MisterMonk

  Right...so blacks are good at sports and music and can't swim...Asians are smart and good at math I'm guessing...

  What qualities do you assign white people? Considering blacks and Asians are just as genetically diverse as they are. Surely there must be some broad brush we can paint them with, funny how you never hear about that.

  • I think theres more difference between Asians and Blacks, than between Whites and Blacks– drgs1/5

    so whites are really somewhere in-between, I think– drgs2/5

    What qualities do you assign white people?
    The quality of racism.– fugged3/5

    Blacks and Asians together are hot !– MisterMonk4/5

    whites are good at eating mac n cheese– _salisae_5/5

  You miss my point drgs, when this shit comes up we people like you are quite happy to apply blanket statements to the entire black race, but always say whites are "normal" or "somewhere inbetween." Do you think it's a coincidence that that is the point of view in white-dominated societies? If we can assign quailties to the entire race of blacks or Asians, why can't it be done for whites? Think about that for a sec.

  • I cosign that– Glitterati_Duane1/2

    blanket statements about ourselves? i dont know...– drgs2/2

  They always have one or two token coloured people in TV to make people of different races happy (or to get more viewers...).

  Racism is very obvious in TV.

  • They try to be subversive about it (aka. new racism), but end up being very obvious, especially for media students like me.– Jaline1/5

    Not showing off, just stating what I got from doing studies about various TV shows, specifically reality.– Jaline2/5

    what are examples?– dskz3/5

    look at every Indian character.– Jaline4/5

    what about them? what do you see?– dskz5/5

  OK, maybe just in North America we see more white on programs,
  And in Asia, you dont see much 'white' and if so they usually been stereotype as a dumb white guys in TV shows there. Or you dont see much 'white' in bollywood show.
