to exclude is to discriminate against those that you exclude...
This is wrong, but it would be pointless to try to explain why to someone who thinks "fundy libtard" is something that makes sense.
if you feel that mainstream media excludes minorities, please do explain in what areas and how.
I've used these examples before, on this forum, but let's start with some popular tv shows:
First, there's "Girls". A show that received a ton of attention the last two years and landed its star and creator a slew of magazine covers and the moniker "Voice of a generation". She also received a fair amount of criticism because the show is filmed and takes place in NY, yet rarely
features any minorities, much less has a minority starring or supporting character. When she addressed the criticism, she said she didn't know how to write for black characters.
Matthew Weiner, head writer and executive producer of "Mad Men", might have the same problem. The hit show manages to almost never feature minorities with the exception of a black, female secretary who pops up a few times a season and has no storyline. It's convenient that she pops up 3 or 4 times a season, as the show is a period piece that takes place during the civil rights movement.
Some have said that maybe the time period and setting is a reasonable explanation as to why "Mad Men" features so few minorities. Yet, another massive AMC hit, "The Walking Dead", takes place in the present- in Atlanta of all places- yet manages to keep its selection of minorities as scant as possible. There is the stalwart Asian character, whose been with the show since the beginning and what seems to be a revolving door of a maximum of 2 black characters who can be featured in storylines at any given point. Which is actually a recent improvement, as the rotating, disposable black characters weren't really featured in any storylines until the third season of the show.And this is actually a DEVIATION from the source material. Interestingly enough, this American produced show that takes place in Atlanta included four white British actors in major roles during the last season.
"Game of Thrones" , a show about the magical forces that transpire in non-existent kingdoms on an alternate world, is a show that sticks to "realism" when it comes to race. Outside of a race of swarthy barbarians (none of whom rise to the level of supporting player, even) almost the entire show is cast white. Which, really, why wouldn't it be?
So, those are just a few examples. I eagerly await your "rebuttle", which will no doubt start with "lol" and end without making any sense.
