Another Homogenously White Sitcom from the Creators of "Friends"

According to this blogpost by Lisa de Moraes, "Friends" creator David Crane had some pretty lame excuses for his new show's all-white ensemble. Needless to say, there was a lot of disappointment from critics. As I've suggested before, I think people should just stop complaining and put their money where their mouths are. If you don't like what's on television, don't watch it. Give it a "thumbs down" on your TiVo remote. If you want diversity on television, create it yourself, or give your financial support to those who *do* create diversity. You really can't blame the folks who create those homogenously white shows. These folks are predominantly white, so what do you expect them to create? People generally create what they know. Furthermore, including non-white characters puts producers at risk of unintentionally portraying them in a way that might offend non-whites. So, to play it safe, they just write what they know. There's also the perceived impact of diversity upon TV ratings/box office receipts and subsequently lower revenue. Now, it would be nice if David Crane were up front and honest about these fears. In any case, my recommendation to everyone is to vote with your dollars. If you don't approve of homogenous casting in the media, don't spend your money on it. Spend your hard earned bucks on diversity and keep it away from the homogenous Hollywood studios. Follow the example of the Chinese: Not only do they create some fantastic cinema of their own, they keep money away from the culturally ignorant producers of Hollywood by flooding the market with pirated DVDs of Hollywood films!!!
