You know, I almost always stay away from treads like these cause...
1. I am a white dude and most of this stuff dosen't relate to me.
2. If I voice my opinion the reaction would be like Jesus Pimp said..."you wouldn't know your a white guy."
... but, I am gonna throw my 2 cents in this.
1. The whole politically correct thing can suck my ass. I would rather have people say what the fuck they believe so I know what type of person they are...... If you think I am a fucking cracker... say it. Then I know you don't like me... fine. I can deal with this. But the PC crap thats even more dumb than the race stuff is the whole Fire-person or police-person. HOLY FUCK !!!!!!! its a policeman!!!!!!! and as far a PC goes... who likes politicians???? no one.... why would you wanna be correct like one???
2. When I hear arguments like the one that started this post... "We need more asians in TV" its like the person is saying because there are now alot of asians in the U.S. that there NEEDS to be equal repesentation in the media... I don't feel thats true..... You are more then welcome to try to get a show like that but there is no promise that it will happen... only that your free to try. Do we need "mandatory" asian shows... latino shows .... Indian oh no wait native American shows??? If anything it seems like the miniority races would feel insulted if that was the way it went down.... ok.. your our tolken hindu show you're our show that represents canadians....I'd be pissed (If i was a minority) if this was the case. pitch an Idea see what happens.
For the record... I have been trying to get money togeather to open a comic book store for sometime now... It just so happens that the great white money fairy hasn't dropped by my house yet with loads of cash to help me out. Looks like I'll have to get off my white ass and work for what I wan't. Wait, I know why this is... I have a Puerto Rican wife..... they don't wan't me to suceed cause she will too. The man keeps people down even at the cost of a few of thier own.
If you want something, make it happen. Don't wait around for it to be given to you!!! I truly feel anything else is just an excuse.
