Televison Isnt as Diverse as It should Be.

Television isn’t diverse as it should be. One example is the show “Girls” that is shown on HBO. When you see the title of the Show, you don’t think there will be all white girls. The show is based on was it going on in their life. (Jemima Kirke) who is playing Jessa on the television premiere said, “I want to have children with many different men, of different races”. People noticed no different race was on the shown on the show and was critized. I think there is not as many diverse television shows because since a big percentage of America are whites people probably think other little percentages doesn’t matter and more Europeans will be watching TV than any other race. I agree that television is nowhere near diverse enough. Many shows on TV are filled with Europeans and that isn’t right. Just because most of American is whites doesn’t mean other races are not important. I think it is a from of racism that TV isn’t as diverse as it should be because it makes it seem as though people wouldn’t want other races on television but whites. Television producer have some responsibility on having a diverse cast. They may have a diverse cast for racial reasons or popularity. For example if a whole cast is only whites it’s possible that the producer(s) are racist because why not have at least one other person from a different race? Many moving that have crime drama or violence, many of the actors are African Americans and I think that is a stereotype that people think African Americans are violent. On movies with a lot of violence and cursing I noticed they are always playing that role of “being violent”.
