I like the idea, but anytime you "demonstrate" the culture of another, whether it is their culture by skin, sexual orientation or geographic location, I really think you should present 5 or more of them. While "Meet a Black Guy" is somewhat in effective in showing the life of one black man in their community, "Meet 5 Black Guys" would give a better view into the culture. No singular entity can represent the mélange that is a given culture. "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy", for example, isn't nearly as offensive and is much more effective because many of the types of homosexual men are represented, not just one man as THE word of homosexuality.
