Broadcasting A World Of Whiteness : )
This article Broadcasting a World of Whiteness is about a HBO television show called "girls" that has an all-white cast. The show has no diversity and that's what the article is concerned about. The fact that the show has all white people and they tend to say racy comments. A comment a girl made on the show was "I want to have children with many different men of different races". Then the discussion arose that not enough televisions shows have all races and why is that? Some shows have all black cast and some have all white and some shows are diverse. But the question is that why aren't all shows diverse. I really do agree with this because sometimes when you see a show you only see one color. But I really don't have a problem with watching a show that I like no matter the cast or not. The reason why there is no diversity on network television (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX ) is because that's not cable. They try to reach their audience which is like old people and people in their 40's and on. Mostly all black people have cable. I do agree that television isn't diverse enough. Like I can turn on the TV and see a show with one race. But honestly I like that because I think people of the same race interact the best with each other and to me that makes a good show. I think a producer should pick their cast because it is there show. And they have to pick a cast that they think will get viewers. Even though I think they should pick a cast that is good but they should also have how many viewers the show might get in mind. But this topic really isn't something that affects me I just watch what I like.
