Sound ludicrous? Because it is. I'll watch an asian on TV when they bring something to the table that interests me. Martial arts and anime aren't my cup of tea, so dont play that card.
As far as "minorities" go, I just got back from New York. It is hard not to be stereotypical after what I saw. I didn't see one white cab driver. 99% of all of the Asians I saw were selling 6 t-shirts for $10 on Canal Street. Of all of the people trying to sell me fake Rolex's and Ray-Bans, 100% of them were black. I was defintely a minority in the city. The only time I saw a large group of white people was at the Yankee game.
bahhh What is the point? Most "minorities" never feel like they get a fair shake in life and most "non-minorites" are sick of hearing about it.

Phred is right on at least one point. TV shows are a 22 min filler for the commercials. White people being predominant, naturaly they need to play to that interest.
If it was all black people, (might I point out the Cosby's for beign a really good show?) and whites wouldnt or couldnt relate, then they would lose money. Plain and simple.
Its not because we dont like other races, its because other races dont pay.

True, but wouldn't it make even more sense to market more shows to other races and groups to attract more viewers? More viewers=more money. Now that's a concept. White people aren't the only people who watch tv
