"Diversity" on TV...

[WHITE DEVIL]

This shit cracks me up. I heard some black dude today talkin about "he doesn't feel represented as a people on TV".

I did an informal survey of shows I flipped through during this afternoon, and 14/18 of them had black characters, either main or supporting actors.

1/18 of them had a "Latino/Latina" actor.

0/18 had people of Middle Eastern Descent, and

1/18 had someone of Asian descent.

And then MTV. Over half of their hosts are black or mixed. How many are Latino? How many are Asian? Besides that one Chin bitch...

How many are of Middle Eastern descent? None,maybe one, at one point in time?

That shit cracks me up. MTV is supposed to be this progressivist, "with it" TV station that is "down with the social issues brother", yet the only people who get adequate representation on MTV are Whites, Blacks, and Gays, with the latter two being misproportionally represented.

And when a Latino is on TV, they're light-skinned. You'll never see a dark ass Mexican with prominent, "Indio" features in the lead role. They're always spaniards. Isn't Antonio Banderas a fuckin spaniard? And Salma Hayek, that bitch looks like a whitey with a tinge of something else and dyed hair.

Asians, South American, and Middle Eastern actors get the shit end of the stick. I wonder how long this will take to catch up...

Didnt you know? MTV says your not cool unless your Black

 

[DubbC415]

Hey! I'm North American! Typical white move, trying to push the Mexicans and other Latinos out of North America and into the Central and Southern parts.

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

Listen here buddy, youre just a damn beaner!

Haha.

I thought if I said north americans people would think indigenous natives of the continental US states.

Then again Mexicans were indigenous natives of the continental us...

nevermind.

Fuck you and your picky shit.

Fuck this board.

What about jews, white devil? There are NEVER any jews on TV, you racist-anti-semite, you

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

John Stewart, Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Seinfeld, and so on, and so on.

The rest of the Jews in Media "own" the shit...literally. Writing, directing, producing, etc. Jews make money out the ass from all major media.

George Lopez????

And Salma Hayek, that bitch looks like a whitey with a tinge of something else and dyed hair

last time i checked Salma was pretty dark skinned. and with a very heavy accent.

i mean have you ever watched the "Spanish Channels" 80% of their actors/actresses are light skinned

 

[WHITE DEVIL]

George Lopez..one example. Compare that to: The parkers, wayne brady, chapelle show, bet, bla bla and so on. Black people have a much greater position on TV...yet they still talk like they don't get represented.

Mexican channels exist, but where are the Latino/Chicano actors in Mainstream American programming?

And as far as Mexican TV having mostly light people on. That happens because in Mexico the lighter you are, the better off you are percieved as. "The great spanish legacy" of the hatred of brown skin still exists.

My homeboy said theres even a show on Mexican TV like La India or something like that that straight up makes fun of indigenous Mexicans.

I definetly wanna see some dark skinned Italians represented besides on The Sopranos.....It's a CONSPIRACY!!!!
