I don't think there is anything wrong with ethnic based programming. Growing up in different cultures and having different cultural backgrounds will lead to having different things and values that will appeal to them. Provided that one race does not make egregrious negative comments of another race, or emphasize negative differences between races, then I don't see anything wrong with it.

However, I see that sort of negative diversity emphasis happening with main stream media, so what's to say that other race media doesn't do the same thing?

I'm sorry for making a round-about argument, but I guess I will conclude my comment with that we ought to just realize the next person is Human, just like us.
