The whole Quota thing needs to be exploded.
On any given sicom, how many characters need to be gay? 1.8%? No way! How about 30%?
On any given medical show, how many of the top surgeons need to be black? 13%? No way! How about 50%?
On any given office show, how many powerful business executives need to be women? At least 50%!!!
On any given thriller, how many terrorists need to be Muslims? None! Obviously! How could you even consider that??
That matches my observations pretty well. Whenever there is a murderer, you can guarantee it won’t be the muslim. In fact, if there is a muslim suspect, you know you will be in for a “lesson” about not jumping to conclusions or being prejudiced and the muslim will be innocent, a good guy, and a victim of bigotry.
The perp will definitely be white, not muslim, black, or hispanic. And in another interesting departure from statistics, there will be a HUGE number of female perps.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that Hollywood will often have white characters as lead actors to draw better ratings, but their bosses will all be black or female or both. That way they can appease blacks by putting them in “leadership” roles, but they don’t have to pay the black actors as much and they don’t lose as many white viewers.
How many of the “super genius” characters are black? Way, way more than 13%! Considering that the average black IQ is around 80, that is a preposterous departure from reality.
I would be happy to watch a show with a diverse cast, if it had any remote resemblance to reality instead of being some liberal version of “diversity utopia fantasy land” that they are trying to sell us.
