I read an article called Broadcasting a World of Whiteness. The article is about a TV show that is not diverse enough and how that is just one piece of the bigger puzzle.
They did not judge "Two and a Half Men" or "How I Met Your Mother" like they judged girls. The article says it is because they did not watch the shows. I think it is because they enjoyed the shows more than they enjoyed "Girls". Maybe they were more entertained and not worrying about race privileges, and with "Girls" they were just sooo bored they thought about race privileges.
I think television is diverse enough. You have television stations where they are devoted to blacks and there are a lot of black people throughout that whole station. There are also mixed stations too. There could be more white actors than black and I do not think they are going to go out on the street and pick a random black person to come act. The black people could be the people behind the scenes, the ones that come up with the ideas for the shows. Maybe they are the minds behind it all. Maybe they aren't. But unless someone watches all TV stations and I mean every show and go around and count all the people that work behind the scenes. Then they can't say whether it is diverse enough until they are sure about everything that is happening on television. It could be even, there are bigger problems in the world than this. People just always have to have something to write about.
