American TV shows are racist

[DrVirus]

damn you, I'm not that far yet, House on german TV is 1 season behind...no House spoilers anymore please...

You are kidding me right ?? How far are you ? Painless ? I have one word for you B_B "download". Jeez!! You will honestly wait a year after this season to watch the sixth season ?? If it was upto me, I would break into the director's house

Really? Enough of this. Look at will smith, look at denzel washington, look at morgan freeman. All top-notch actors who are often the heroes of movies.

I don't watch tv very much at all, but your entire argument is completely ridiculous, given the basis of your opinion (6 tv shows & events which were all interpreted by YOU).

Im not talking about movies, because those are entirely different, this topic is purely about tv shows

my point is, that the diversity within shows in which the main character is black...is ber limited.

[bad_brain]

well, look what the statistics say n3rd:

Population
39.2 million
As of July 1, 2004, the estimated population of black residents in the United States, including those of more than one race. They made up 13.4 percent of the total U.S. population.

so, if between 1 and 2 of 10 people in series are black it's a reflection of society. to artificially raise the quota would already be a form of racism again, because it would be like "they are too stupid to do it own their own, so we have to establish a quota".

@ b_b

and the hispanics population? cus I dont believe that the rest of those stats is populated by white people

you have a point, but still.....my question remains, why do they always kill the black people in tv shows? cus thats what happens more often then that white people get killed.

Smallville: The black dude gets killed from the cast

If you're talking about Pete, he doesn't die.

[bozotheclown138]

dude half the time the black is heroic guy who sacrifices himself for the good of everyone else, and look at any comedian (ralphy may) for instance may make fun of himself but gives shit to other races too, and south park=cartman enough said no one has cared about this for years and probably no one ever will. just my thought on this

wrong context , he gets " killed " from the cast, not in the show. (A)
