[Beth23207]

When I was younger, I used to watch a show called ‘Family Matters’ which is about a black family. I loved the show, but I always wondered why there were few white people, and when whites were on the show, they were portrayed as unintelligent or mean (ie. the father’s police companion). That was years ago, and I don’t see that in any other shows (thank goodness). I think the main reason why people are concerned with all-white or all-black shows is because neither of them are proportionate to the general reality of the US. Yet if all shows had to use statistical ratios for racial casting, I wouldn’t agree with that either. The truth is that racial ratios differ greatly all over the country. I think that as long as the races are portrayed equally in terms of intelligence and levels of compassion, then they can be slightly out of balance in terms of representation in numbers.
