This week in Journalism class we read an article called 'Broadcasting a World of Whiteness' by Jon Carmanica. This article is about television not being as diverse as it should. This article explains that a new show 'Girls', which is supposed to be about 4 girls who try to make it in life, but there's just one little problem. All the female characters are white. The characters being white has caused a lot of controversy. People have mentioned that they would watch the show, but it's not diverse enough. Many even call this an act of racism. The show is called "Girls", but doesn't have any other races, but white.
One of the characters got a message that said the show wasn't diverse enough. She said that she also thinks that and if there is a season two than she will for sure bring it up, and address it. I do believe that television isn't anywhere near diverse enough. A lot of shows that are out aren't nearly diverse enough.
