Broadcasting a World of whiteness

The article called Broadcasting a World of whiteness talks about a new tv show on HBO, called "girls". This Show has caused a little controversy because it has gotten people wondering why a new show called "girls" doesn't include all different races of girls, instead of one race of girls. This show should apply to all girls, not just white girls, or black girls, or Hispanic girls, but all girls. I agree with how everyone feels about this show. I believe somewhere in this show there should be a girl of another race.  think that there are not many shows on network television that are diverse because the producers figure that since there are more white people in the world then there should be just white people as main characters in shows. I also think sometimes that when someone is making a show they just don't look for only white actors or actresses, they look for whoever fits the spot best, and if they are all white then that is just a coincidence. I agree with the author of this article when he says that television is not diverse enough, because when you flip the channel all you really see are white people, and I know that there should be more mixed people or people of another race on television. Personally I think that producers should choose different races, but I also think that they don't pay attention to that because once again whoever plays the role the best, get the roles to be on television. I never watched something that I though was racist because when I watch television I don't look for that type of stuff, I watch a show to be entertained.
