As adults, most of us truly rarely have mixed core friends, maybe a recurring or guest character would do. But I do love Shonda's shows :)Mynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595087387069634003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715141585183771502.post-1693848684396134132012-06-24T17:57:24.485-05:002012-06-24T17:57:24.485-05:00I'm all for racial diversity but please, PLEAS...I'm all for racial diversity but please, PLEASE, don't make it as cliche as having a token black/Latino/Asian person by force and then not use that character properly or give them stereotypical story lines. For example, I heart Tristan Wilds. He's such a talented actor. But, man oh man, he's been misused on "90210". It's to the point that he's become the token black person. I just want him to chuck up the dueces and bounce. <br /><br />Even though I'm all for diversity, I won't stop watching shows that lack it. In fact, when I'm watching the shows, it never crosses my mind bout how 'white' it is. Say, "Girls". Never crossed my mind. In my head, if Lena is basing the show from her life and her friends, and if all her friends are white and all she's been surrounded by are white people, than that's her story. It's still a funny show. I remember someone saying to me, "But the show is based in NYC. NYC is filled with diversity. They can't have like one black friend?" True but, no, they don't need that one black friend just to fulfill some kind of quota. Just let it be. <br /><br />Yeah, so, YAY for racial diversity on TV shows but let it come naturally. <br /><br />(You bought up black shows not crossing over to mainstream anymore. I miss those days! And it makes me sad. "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", "Martin", "Living Single", "227", "Cosby Show", "The Jeffersons", etc. They tried a bit with "The Bernie Mac Show", "My Wife and Kids", and "Everybody Hates Chris" but yeah, totally not the same.)Vivi N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06521810093109835760noreply@blogger.com
