Broadcasting Whiteness
This week we have read an article called Broadcasting Whitness its about a show that just had a cast with white ethnic girls and it has gotten a lot of views but the media feels as though that all people need to be in a show like African American, Chinese, and Latin. "Girls"is an example of not having enough of diverse shows. Thinking it's going on on all of the shows except BET and Centric. This article points out that other shows like "Two and a Half Men" and "How I Met Your Mother" are just as diverse like "Girls." The show is about 6 white women struggle and how they try to go through life figuring out how there going to move forward. As the show came on tv the media seen that the show only had caucasian people on it. The media didn't like that it was only caucasian people on the show. They thought that it shouldn't be a caucasian show, it should be for all races. I think the show should have other races in it. I think it show have other races in it because to me it shows a little racism. A show with just one race seems a little suspect, but a show that has other races in it shows that it's not racist and all races can communicate with it. I also think that the show shouldn't be on air. I think it shouldn't be on air because this show can offend a lot of people aren't caucasian and also some caucasians that think it should have other races on it. This is what I think about the new show "Girls."
